Just as Martin is starting to recover from a personal tragedy with the help of his friend, he suddenly finds himself at the center of a global catastrophe that threatens to bring humanity to the brink in just a few days. Officials from various authorities and agencies are tramping through his front yard, and one of them is particularly interested in Martin's best friend. It's a disaster for which no organization in the world has a contingency plan, and the focus of saving the world falls on the friendship between a gay man and the presumably most sensitive heterosexual guy in the Western Hemisphere. One can certainly witness the apocalypse while enjoying a Brasato alla milanese, rather than jumping out of airplanes or defusing bombs at the last second. After all, a Cannonau di Sardegna is always a good idea.
