Synopsis

In a future where humanity has joined a galactic civilization, misfits and outcasts choose a one-way trip through a time gate to Pliocene Europe, six million years in the past. Instead of the unspoiled paradise they expected, the travelers discover that Earth is already ruled by two warring races of aliens from a distant galaxy.
