A high-stakes sci-fi action thriller where a traumatized captain pursues an existential threat through time, balancing spectacle with character obsession and the weight of historical consequence.

Violating orders to stay away from the battle, Captain Picard and the crew of the newly-commissioned USS Enterprise E pursue the Borg back in time to prevent the invaders from changing Federation history and assimilating the galaxy.
