Not With a Bang: A family drama at the end of the world, for fans of Station Eleven and The Last of Us

When the world finally ends, will you see it coming? Will you be prepared?

In the summer sky, a celestial object is fast approaching, due to slingshot around the Earth and disappear again. And everyone has their own theory on what it is – a meteor, a planet, aliens?

Meanwhile, the Minton family is in crisis. Briar Minton can’t stop thinking about the girl who went missing six months ago. Investigating her disappearance takes her down a rabbit hole, deep into the world of a cult and the extraterrestrial intelligence they claim is communicating with them.

At the same time, her father Marcus is becoming more unhinged after losing his job as a policeman, becoming obsessed with doomsday prepping and forcing his wife and four daughters along for the ride. He is completely convinced, and maybe even a little bit hopeful, that the apocalypse is imminent.

As the celestial object approaches, the Mintons reach breaking point.

Can they find their way back to each other, at the end of the world?
