With the discovery of an incoming asteroid, the government of America formulate a plan to destroy it. When the plan fails, all the world can do is wait. The main impact zone is revealed to be Dallas, Texas.

Top female astrologist Dr Lily McKee (Annabella Sciorra) is enlisted by FEMA director Jack Wallach (Michael Biehn), and as fear of the disaster wreaks terror in the hearts of those around them together the pair search desperately for a solution.

Michael Biehn and Annabella Sciorra star in this drama about how the lives of a group of people in Dallas, TX -- doctors, firefighters, astronomers, and their families -- are affected when it is discovered that a huge asteroid is heading for the earth, with Dallas as the target.
