Spoilers ahead
In a far-off future, The Girl lives alone inside a sealed bunker, kept company by a small fleet of antiquated robot helpers and soldiers who carry out the war she can no longer see end. Her only link to humanity is a trove of recorded journal entries by the scientist who cared for her as a baby, the one human face she has ever known. Through his words, we gradually learn the grim history: a war that escalated until Earth’s atmosphere was wrecked, human reproductive abilities faltered, and hope for the future dimmed to almost nothing. The Girl is revealed to be a clone, created as a last, desperate effort to push humanity back from the brink.
