 It is mid-January, near the town of Henderson, Yukon, Canada. Brian wakes up anticipating the cash he might take home from the local curling bonspiel taking place later that day. But the day goes from good to not good to bad to pathetic. Georgee is in town to see his Grampa Isaac, yet even with Georgee s curling prowess, the bonspiel is a bust. On his way home that night, Brian witnesses a meteorite flash across the sky, explode in the atmosphere, and disappear over the mountains.
