Earth 2169
Almost 125 years ago, none of the countries could agree on a plan, so the earth fell apart. Billionarnies left the planet only to die in space (or crash back to Earth.) Just before the Earth turned into actual hell and humans were wiped out of the cosmos, an alien species came to help the 'Earthlings' stabilize Earth. They also invited them to join the interplanetary council.
A 100 years later, most humans are out in space exploring and colonizing other planets or just joining the creatures that are already there. Willard “Will” McCray is not; he is still on Earth. Once on the fast track to becoming a captain of one of the newest and most impressive flagship starships, now he is a supervisor on Earth of the processing of dirt. On top of that, he has to use a pencil and paper to do his paperwork - lower than low.
One day, as he was debating on what toaster to use with his bath tonight, a small tap on his shoulder and a barely covered woman would change the trajectory of his life and career. Ugly secrets are uncovered that make him have to work with people and aliens he isn't very fond of, like his ex-wife, her partner she cheated on Will with, and so many others. All this causes him to question why didn't he just take a bath with the toaster the night before.
