Discovery

In 1992, at the dawn of the age of technology, disgraced ex-game show host Manny di Martini schemes for a comeback with a deep-sea television special in the South Pacific. He quickly finds himself in over his head, attracting the attention of a cosmic being who will lead him to a television broadcast event much bigger than the entire planet bargained for: evidence of a slumbering alien in a ruined city at the bottom of the ocean. One look at the monster on T.V., and humans collectively freak out. The narrative leaps between a cast of unforgettable characters, revealing how they are all connected to the same cosmic gods who play with their lives. If humanity can't save itself, and the cosmic beings do not have their best interests in their cold hearts, they are going to have to pull themselves together to fight an imminent war that not only threatens Earth, but the very fabric of reality.
