A single dad and NASA physicist discovers a black hole that will strike earth in a matter of days but no one, including his colleagues at NASA, believes him. The one person that trusts him is his 10-year-old daughter, but that bond is now being threatened by a different force.
A NASA scientist with Asperger’s and his 10-year-old daughter must convince the world of an incoming black hole anomaly on a deadly collision course with Earth
When a NASA physicist with autism discovers a black hole that will destroy Earth, he attempts to warn everyone. There's just one issue: only his daughter believes him.
No one believes an on-the-spectrum and brilliant NASA scientist when he discovers an impending black hole that will reach Earth in a matter of days.

ERIC GESINKI (36) and his daughter MARIE (10) live together. Eric is on the autism spectrum and has a strict regime when it comes to raising Marie. He is also a NASA scientist who lives and works at the Houston Space Center.
After dropping off Marie at school, Eric goes to his job at NASA. While everyone is trying to figure out what caused the death of Orpheus-1, Eric does his own simulations and discovers a strange anomaly. He believes it to be some kind of black hole and finds out that it is on a course towards Earth. His theory is brushed off by his superiors and colleagues as crazy.
While at work, his ex-wife KATE (34) visits him. She is taking him to court for partial custody of Marie. After accidentally assaulting a co-worker, Eric is stationed at the Neutrino Observatory for cleanup duty. Eric finds peace at his new job, but is still determined to find out about the anomaly.
Eventually the anomaly reaches Mars and causes huge destruction. A huge plume of dust is blocking satellite views of the planet and NASA is reporting it as a volcanic eruption.
At court, the judges agrees that Kate should be able...
