Z.O.E. 2167 Idolo will take place five years prior to the events of the PlayStation 2 game Zone of the Enders, and is centered on the Deimos Incident, a terrorist action by the Mars revolutionaries.

During the incident, rebels attacked the United Nations Space Force base on the Martian moon of Deimos and stole one of the original orbital frame prototypes. The orbital frame prototype is shown in several images below, and may carry the Idolo name from the movie's title.
