synopsis

Kate Dibiasky, an astronomy grad student, and her professor Dr. Randall Mindy make an astounding discovery of a comet orbiting within the solar system.

Turns out warning mankind about a planet-killer the size of Mount Everest is an inconvenient fact to navigate.

With only six months until the comet makes impact, managing the 24-hour news cycle and gaining the attention of the social media obsessed public before it's too late proves shockingly comical.
