In 1928, a solitary mountaineer exploring the Karakoram mountains in India encounters a glowing sphere. It is moving at 30,000 kilometers per second, enough to destroy all life on Earth. The United States government hastily assembles a group of scientists, including Helen Benson and her friend Michael Granier, to develop a survival plan.

“I think my sensibility is very literary; all my books were built as books, and I wasn't thinking about them being movies.”
