Deep into a second Cold War, Britain's Ministry of Defense wants a game-changing weapon. Lead scientist Vincent McCarthy (Toby Stephens) has developed a cybernetic super-soldier dubbed "The Machine". When a programming bug causes the prototype to run amok, McCarthy takes his obsessive efforts underground. Soon he has perfected the ideal marriage of human and machine in his ultimate creation, a beautiful and dangerous being (Caity Lotz) that may be the key to ending the war, but a sentience stirring inside the machine puts everyone's plans in jeopardy.

Anne Elliot (Sally Hawkins) fell deeply in love with the handsome young naval officer Frederick Wentworth (Rupert Penry Jones) at the age of nineteen. But with neither fortune nor rank to recommend him, Anne was persuaded to break off her engagement. Eight years later, Anne has lived to regret her decision. She never stopped loving Wentworth, and when he returns from sea with fortune and rank, she can only watch as every eligible young woman in the district falls at his feet. Can Frederick forgive Anne for listening to her family instead of her heart?
