It follows Detective Henry Palace as he tries to solve cases that no one cares about- Who would care with a 6.5 kilometer rock scheduled to land on your head in a few months. Hank cares. He's got a case and he's worrying it like a terrier.

Maia the asteroid joins a cast of characters, fellow police, a younger sister and the dead and soon to be dead.

It may seem to be too depressing but Hank's persistence in continuing to do his job won me over.
