When a father and daughter discover an extinction-level asteroid hurtling toward Earth—two thousand kilometers wide, unstoppable, and already too close—everything changes. Luna Azevedo has spent her life trusting the stars. Her father, Henrique, has spent his career doubting everything except the data. Together, they uncover the truth no one else sees: the sky doesn't lie, but people do. Governments scramble to hide the inevitable. A public "Plan A" is sold to the world—heroic interception missions, global unity, hope on every screen. But behind closed doors, a colder Plan B takes shape: not to save the planet, but to preserve a fragment of humanity on the Moon. Luna is selected for a secret training program. Children of the elite, prodigies, the best minds—groomed for survival in lunar bunkers while the rest of Earth faces the end. She doesn't know the full cost yet. Neither does her father, who must lie to her face to buy time. As the countdown ticks down—two years to impact—the line between truth and deception blurs. Hope becomes a weapon. Survival becomes a conspiracy. And when the rock finally falls, only one question remains: Was there ever a Plan A at all?
