Bean… plays Aaron Marker, a political strategist whose relationship with Cassandra Railly (female lead Amanda Schull) is torn apart by Cole’s appearance. Aaron tries to protect Cassandra but is pulled in to the conspiracy to end the world. Ivanek… will play Leland Frost, a brilliant venture capitalist and philanthropist behind cutting-edge biological research.
