Spoilers ahead
In the distant year of 3000, Earth finds itself under the oppressive dominance of the Psychlos, a ferocious race of enormous humanoid aliens who have ruled for a millennium. The remnants of humanity either endure the torment of enslavement in labor camps or struggle to survive in scattered, primitive tribes beyond the reach of Psychlo authority. One such survivor, Jonnie Goodboy Tyler, portrayed by Barry Pepper, ventures from his home in the Rocky Mountains, embarking on a daring quest for discovery.
During his journey, Jonnie allies with Carlo (Kim Coates), a seasoned hunter. However, their expedition takes a disastrous turn when both men are captured by a raiding party of Psychlos and taken to a grim slave camp situated within a colossal dome, constructed over the ruins of Denver, Colorado.
