But now he faces an even more devastating challenge: strange messages are arriving via his clapped-out black-and-white TV, warning of a fiery comet hurtling toward his tiny cottage on the outskirts of Wellsprings.

Caf Puccini, the social hub of the colourful community, is abuzz. Is the comet real or just another zany publicity stunt dreamt up by Ah Sow, the towns crafty trader Will Angelo, the caf owner, reunite with the wife he had somehow 'misplaced' thirteen years earlier How did a lucky Zulu millionaire and his mysteriously 'top-secret' Norwegian wife become tied to all the comet chaos, and why is a crusty old Scottish boat-builder crafting a unique monument to the stars

As the comet draws closer, secrets unravel, alliances form, and tensions rise. Join Wellsprings oddball residents as they navigate love, cosmic calamities, and outrageous adventures.
