After a train bombing shatters their lives, besieged technology tycoon Daniel (Eric Stoltz) redoubles his efforts to develop advanced robots dubbed Cylons, and mafia-connected lawyer Joseph (Esai Morales) investigates a mysterious virtual world he never knew existed. Set 58 years prior to the start of the "Battlestar Galactica" television series, this science-fiction saga offers a healthy dose of conspiracies, murders and sexual politics.
