What would you do if the world had only six months left?
The world descends into anarchy as Perseus-21 speeds toward Earth, threatening destruction; economies collapse, riots break out, and hope is all that remains.
Amidst all of this, Anton Cruz, a devoted and diligent Filipino exchange student, balances late-night food deliveries with his aspirations to spend one final moment with his family. Ellaine Carter, a former supermodel and daughter of a billionaire, conceals her mounting sadness beneath a façade of fame and fortune.
What starts as an unexpected friendship turns into something neither of them could have predicted when their worlds collide quite literally over a poorly executed food delivery.
Together, they traverse a collapsing globe, come to doubt their belief in fate, and learn that love can shine brightest in the darkest sky, even when humanity and hope is on the verge of extinction.
