Kate Dibiasky, a doctoral candidate in astronomy at Michigan State University, makes a groundbreaking discovery of an unknown comet. Her professor, Doctor Randall Mindy, confirms that this comet poses a serious threat to Earth and could lead to a global extinction event within six months. NASA verifies this finding, and Dr. Teddy Oglethorpe joins them to present the evidence to the White House.
Despite their best efforts, President Janie Orlean and her Chief of Staff Jason Orlean show little concern for the impending disaster. Oglethorpe urges Dibiasky and Mindy to leak the news to the media, leading to a chaotic appearance on a popular morning talk show. The public’s reaction is mixed, with some dismissing the threat and others hailing Mindy for his role.
Orlean’s priorities shift when a scandal emerges, prompting her to finally acknowledge the comet’s danger and launch a mission to divert it using nuclear weapons. However, the true motive behind this decision is questioned when a billionaire CEO uncovers the comet’s mineral wealth. Orlean’s focus turns to exploiting the comet for profit, leading to a controversial plan that divides public opinion.
As the comet looms closer to Earth, tension escalates between those who advocate for action and those who deny the threat’s severity. Dibiasky and Mindy find themselves at odds with Orlean’s administration, prompting a last-ditch effort to raise awareness and rally support for an interception mission. As the situation worsens, humanity faces its inevitable fate amid political turmoil and personal sacrifices.
