12 Monkeys follows the journey of a time traveler (Aaron Stanford) from the post-apocalyptic future who appears in present day on a mission to locate and eradicate the source of a deadly plague that will eventually decimate the human race.
We all know the future is coming, some of it sooner than others, but what will it be like? According to recent trends there with be some sort of cataclysm, but luckily most of us will be dead too soon to really know the difference. But these guys survived, so they've got that going for them at least. Which is nice.
