Jose Sanchez is designing a city block. He adds trees, apartments, and a shop. But these elements need power, water, and food, so he adds wind turbines and a field of wheat. For a brief time, an equilibrium is struck, and the lights in his buildings turn on and off, and a resident appears, walking between the apartments and the shop. But soon, a wheat field dies, the turbines break, and the neighborhood begins to decay. Sanchez must find a way to bring his neighborhood back to life in a sustainable and ecologically sound way.
