The Parallax Theory - Season 1 (2015)

Physicist Jonathan Cooper lost his mother in a diastrous meteor strike when he was young, and he is convinced a similar event could happen again. While pursuing a solution, he meets Natalie, who proves to be an important piece to the puzzle.

Professor Baker denies Jonathan's "end of the world" theory, much to the physicist's dismay. With Natalie's help, he turns to unconventional and unadvisable tactics with unproven data, and we begin to learn how quickly fear can seep into science.

Jonathan, enjoying his overnight stardom, gains knowledge of a safety plan. The catch? It might not include the ones he loves most. So, with minimal money, he sets forth a plan to support his benefactor's family, Natalie, and hopefully his family.
