Three thousand years after a chunk of iron the size of Khufu’s pyramid collides with Europa, Jupiter’s sixth moon, an asteroid borne of the collision crashes into Earth’s Arctic ice shelf carrying extraterrestrial microbial life.

The only thing that separates astronaut Regina Brice from her 12-year-old daughter is distance. Unfortunately that space is filled with an extraterrestrial catastrophe that threatens the very existence of the planet. Whether or not distance makes the heart grow fonder becomes a curious notion, as Regina shuttles back down to earth amidst an invasion that sends Izzy Brice fleeing for her life with a few classmates. Can a mother’s yearn to close the distance gap save their lives from an alien onslaught? Or will the only thing to grow be the peril to all of humanity?
