A gifted artist (Santiago Cabrera, “Empire”), whose drug addiction is destroying his life and relationship with his girlfriend (Tawny Cypress, NBC s “Third Watch”), can paint the future. And in Japan, a young man (Masi Oka, NBC’s “Scrubs”) develops a way to stop time through sheer will power. Yet, unbeknownst to them all, their ultimate destiny is nothing less than saving the world…
