Opening narration

Plot

Mike Benson and Laura Hanley, each emotionally wounded by life, are offered a chance for redemption, of a sort. They can save Earth from being destroyed -- cataclysmically over a period of several years -- for the entertainment of a jaded extraterrestrial audience, but only if they will provide alternative entertainment by battling to the death two primitive aliens, who are likewise fighting to save their own distant world.
