In forty-five days, a disaster will strike the Earth and wipe out civilization. The cities will burn, the governments will collapse, and humanity will be brought to the brink of extinction. Out of the panic, an unthinkable menace arises-one that may kill all hope.
Within this turmoil, Anthony hides a profound crisis behind his perfect facade, while Alma carries a heavy family secret. Faced with the fear that was taking over society and the break-up of alliances, both were thrown in front of the ruins of their world, where the lives they knew had shattered.
From survival to sacrifice, "Countdown to Doom" places you in a world where such a question must be asked: just how far would you go when the end is inevitable to save what's left and protect those you love?
