In the near future scientists detect an asteroid that is on a collision course with the earth and if it strikes it will have an apocalyptic effect on the world that will likely wipe out all or nearly all of the life on the planet. With only a few months to put together a team to intercept and destroy the asteroid scientists at NASA are working against a ticking clock to save humanity. However in this modern day world where conspiracy theory takes precedence over fact and where we live in a reality TV show world, there are large numbers of people who think that the asteroid isn't real and that it's all a plot by the government to restrict people's freedom.

In this world of paranoia and distrust of the mainstream, a young up-and-coming documentary filmmaker named Henry Wong sees this as opportunity for a new reality show, where he will interview the astronauts to reassure the American public that the world is in good hands and that they will be capable of stopping the asteroid and saving the world by showcasing the lives of the astronauts. But in this world of paranoia and conspiracy theory will making a reality show out of the quest to stop the end of the world help the situation or just add fuel to the fire of the conspiracy theorists?

An asteroid apocalypse novella unlike others for the contemporary world, that is so fearful and divided and polarized it asks the question, if the world was going to end would people even believe it? And if people do believe it will our own fear of what is to come destroy us even more quickly than the asteroid ever would?
