Flashback to the arrival of the comet…Michelle was studying to be a doctor at Oxford University, England. It's the start of the autumn term in 2030, and finds she has a new roommate, from the Carribbean.
Lucy now an Overseas student has joined Oxford University, just before the comet arrives and they become much needed friends. Two days later, the lights go out and everything electronic no longer works. Michelle decides they need to get to higher ground, to an airbase where her father worked, in the Chiltern hills. With the help of candles, in the university library, they find a map of the route and plan to leave on bicycles as soon as the light returns.
Lucy admits that she once met James, ten years ago on the Caribbean island, who had seen these events would unfold in 2030. This flashback was to show that the characters are ordinary young people who face difficult decisions in their rapidly changing world.
