The series is set thirty-five years in the future when humans in the Los Angeles Police Department are paired up with lifelike androids; a detective who has a dislike for robot partners is paired up with an android capable of emotion.
Karl Urban plays John Kennex, a respected police officer who has shut down emotionally after a tragic mission that claimed the lives of nine of his fellow elite officers and left him critically injured. Kennex is then teamed up with a law enforcement robot cop named Dorian, played by Michael Ealy.
Other cast members include Lili Taylor, Minka Kelly, Mackenzie Crook, and Michael Irby.
