There are many options to end the World, but it’s always someone; someplace far away who will. Someone who we can't control; it will be these distant people who will set the stage for Armageddon: but suppose it wasn’t, but instead that each one of us was given a choice in our own destruction; if each one of us inadvertently, and individually set the stage for total World annihilation.There are many options to end the World, but it’s always someone; someplace far away who will. Someone who we as individuals can't control; it will be these distant people who will set the stage for Armageddon. In our powerlessness situation the greatest fear is that it will be us who are the cannon fodder or victims: but suppose it wasn’t; but instead that each one of us was given a choice in our own destruction; if each one of us inadvertently, and individually set the stage for total World annihilation.

Dr. Ahuja is a world renowned Space scientist and his lovely, intelligent daughter Divya dreams to be one among the stars. The Earth is sound asleep in peace and calm only to be awakened to startling and catastrophic events. The book of prophecy and an ancient astrologer’s word has come true.Alien attack and the destruction of the entire solar system are beginning of a new start.The ‘End of the world’ is near but everyone, except Divya is unaware of it. Divya is an Indo-American high school girl from San Francisco. Her father is a scientist with NASA. On her school trip to India, she discovers an ancient book which predicts a disaster to be indicated by a sign in the sky. Divya is terrified when she sees the sign one day. But nobody believes her and finally the prediction comes true – the solar system is facing its end. Sun undergoes drastic chemical reaction due to it’s collision with a comet. The sun undergoes a phenomenon called ‘reunion of solar system’ and starts engulfing the planets. The ancient book had mentioned that a solution to this disaster was brought down on earth thousands of years ago in a meteor rain. Scientists are doing all that they could do to save the earth as the earth inches day by day towards its horrific end. The temperatures on earth increase day by day. On one such hot day, Divya goes out to the lonely beach and finds an alien friend who was brought down along with the meteors thousands of years ago. Divya is sure that he is the saviour of earth as mentioned in the book. But maybe it was too late now. She names him Ami. Ami is highly intelligent as compared to humans. He has special powers too. Meanwhile scientists try to move earth away from sun by programming satellites but as the doomsday was destined, the experiment backfires. Satellites loose control over earth and earth begins to roll randomly in space! Scientists can do nothing to stop it and everything is left to almighty. Then miraculously, as if the prayers of 7 billion people get answered, earth finally comes to halt in a new space. Everyone is relieved to have survived the doomsday. Soon there is a friend request from nearby planet Gianta. The Giantians are highly advanced and very helpful beings. They are very much like humans. Later on, it is revealed that earth was halted and saved only because of them. The humans are greatly impressed by the Giantians. The two planets are quick to share the technological knowledge to benefit mutually. But the Giantians are traitors disguised as friends. Their planet lacks natural resources and with their advanced technology they have created an amazingly beautiful synthetic world. Their intentions are obvious. They are blinded by the immense natural resource that the planet earth has. Their intention is to rule our planet and make us all their slaves. They had very cleverly inserted a Nano-chip in the delegates from earth who visited them. These people became their human robots and worked as per their command. Divya’s father is one of the human robots. But, before the Giantians could achieve their goal, Ami and Divya accidently come to know the truth. They help Divya’s father to recover back into a normal human. They want to recover others too. But it is too late. The population of human robots have increased beyond control and it very rapidly goes on increasing. Divya and Ami along with a handful of scientists are the only humans left. They get trapped by human robots all around them. Still they try to save the earth and finally Ami succeeds in saving all. Aliens are threatened as their plot completely fails. They want to take revenge and release the earth from its orbit. As a result, Earth once again starts rolling in space. But luckily, this time, it gets attracted by sun, which has become stable by now. Ami too is able to sense the signal from his star. Earth comes back in the solar system and Ami returns back to his home star. Views: 664
