Utilizing a dangerous and untested method of time travel, James Cole (Aaron Stanford - "Nikita," X-Men 2, X-Men: The Last Stand), a man from the post-apocalyptic future, travels to the present day on a mission to locate and eradicate the source of a deadly plague. But as he and virologist Dr. Cassandra Railly (Amanda Schull - "Suits," Center Stage) track the 12 Monkeys, a shadowy cult behind the outbreak, the effects of their time travel threaten to destroy humanity's last hope.
