The Catcher in the Rye and a .44 Magnum prove to be a volatile mix for 16-year-old Jerome who believes that he is the famous author reincarnated.

A deadly comet is on collision trajectory with Earth.

Adam is unknowingly selected on a short list for relocation by aliens, as part of a grand plan to save the Earth's species from certain extinction in the coming global catastrophe.
