During a intense battle with a borg cube in our solar system the borg's seductive and sadistic queen succeed to escape in an escape pod in course towards Earth to assimilate humans and make them a part of the borg collective.

The borgs is driven by a cunning scheme to change the way of the history, and it is now up to Picard, whose last meeting with the borgs six years back nearly costed him his life, when he was assimilate into a borg (watch "Star Trek: The Next Generation" episode "The Best of Both Worlds" (74/75)), to stop them once and for all!
