Purely by accident, Edward Baxter, a college professor, and astronomer, discovers two planets missing in the Milky Way Galaxy.

With the assistance of every telescope on Earth, including the Arecibo radio telescope, and others, along with the Hubble space telescope, as well as the Kepler space telescope, a strange, unprecedented, radio signal, is discovered.

Little does he know the significance of his discovery, until the day a massive, angry looking, storm in space, appears just outside the Earth's atmosphere.

From that moment on, the people of Earth realize they do not control their future.
