At the birth of the Universe, matter was balanced by anti-matter. A civilization called the Merna exist within this anti-matter and they threatened the existence of not just Earth but the whole Universe. The Merna is constructed from their initial atomic bonds in the Universe and appear as a translucent jelly similar to an amoeba. They are highly intelligent and can transcribe DNA of other matter for brief moments at a time.
Dr. Lena Bluesky was an Entomologist who escaped from the Merna and gravitated towards Earth for reasons that she wished to discover. She teamed up with Bob Plant, who himself is actually a tree, sent undercover to protect Earth from the incoming Merna invasion, and is part of the group of seven trees directed by a Grand Old Tree.
Throw in some Asian murder hornets who are working in the background to protect Bob Plant and Lena until they both can discover the formulae that will save humanity.
This is a love story that has a very unique twist; a tree should not fall in love with a jelly!
