2022: A never-ending army of machines and the few human survivors have been engaged in a conflict for decades. 1997 saw the self-aware AI known as Skynet launch its attack on humanity.
A soldier sent back in time to alter the course of human history finds himself caught between the past and the future. She shows up in 1997 to defend Malcolm Lee, a scientist working on launching a new artificial intelligence system to counter Skynet’s looming invasion on humanity.
Malcolm is being pursued by a relentless assassin from the future who is trying to change the course of his three children’s lives forever as he works through the moral difficulties of his creation.
