Phoenix: Earthkeepers

In a bleak future, humanity is on the brink of extinction due to a catastrophic environmental collapse. A group of scientists, led by the brilliant but haunted Dr. Aris Thorne, discover an ancient alien artifact known as the Earthkeepers, which holds the key to restoring the planet. However, a ruthless corporation also seeks the artifact for its own nefarious purposes, forcing Thorne and his team into a desperate race against time.
