Red Faction: Origins is a two hour TV movie that's set during a period between the popular Red Faction: Guerrilla and Red Faction: Armageddon video games.

Synopsis:
Twenty-five years have passed since Alec Mason led the Martian Colonies to freedom and 12 years since vengeful enemies killed his wife, kidnapped his daughter Lyra and left a broken hero in their wake. Jake Mason, Alec's only son and an officer in the Red Faction Militia, has his world turned inside out when he discovers that now, 12 years after her kidnapping, his sister is still alive.


As a powerful new enemy swarms across the planet, Jake goes out to find her, only to learn that his lost sister is one of them -- a cold-blooded soldier sworn to destroy the Red Faction. Vernon portrays The Matriarch, leader of the tribal Marauders sect.

Red Faction: Origins is written by notable writer and producer Andrew Kreisberg (Warehouse 13, Fringe, Eli Stone).

Red Faction: Origins is set to premier on SyFy on June 4, 2011.
