When news stations start reporting that Earth has been contacted by a planet named Alma, the world is abuzz with rumors that the alien entity is giving mankind only few days to live before they hit the kill switch on civilization. For Jesse, Cate, and Adeem, this news from out of this world is about to turn theirs upside down. Jesse, for one, welcomes the madness. His life has been one bad break after another and he’s tired of it. Cate has grown up hearing stories about her dad from her mom, and decides to find out the truth about the man she’s been told is her father. And Adeem, a prodigy at coding and programming, must become familiar with a concept new to him—forgiveness. With only eight days to right their wrongs and face the truths that have been eating them up inside, Jesse, Cate, and Adeem must struggle to find their places in a world that’s being pulled out from beneath them. Can they really convince Alma that they, and humanity, are worth saving, even if they can’t believe it themselves?
