Fast forward thirty years into the future: mankind struggles to survive as the environment deteriorates and the slow regression of the human race begins. On the brink of life and the reality of death, technology combats the prevailing uncertainty and fear with the creation of the first quantum android, the Automata Pilgrim 7000. ROC, the corporation at the helm of robotic intelligence, has set forth security protocols to ensure mankind maintains control over the manufactured population. However, as ROC insurance agent, Jacq Vaucan (Antonio Banderas) investigates cases surrounding defective androids, he begins to uncover the secrets behind who is really manipulating the Automata Pilgrim 7000 and the truth is far more complex than the make or model of any machine.
