It is Wednesday, December 12, 2012. In nine days the Mayan calendar ends and the apocalyptic disaster will befall mankind. Ironically, the fate of the world is in the hands of Barry Hargrove, a two-bit detective, who is in search of a relic known as the Baton of Time, whose importance he does not fully comprehend. There are many secrets to be revealed from an unlikely group of people: a skeptical doctor, a sexy newscaster, a small Mayan street urchin, a shaman, a housekeeper, and a ghostly Mayan priest. They must somehow work together to align the forces of the Mayan calendar, and save our world. 2012: Timeline Apocalypse is not a typical doomsday disaster, but a tale interwoven with the myths and legends of the Mayan calendar, and its curious end-date. Our solar system passes the center of the Milky Way in December 2012 - can our civilization be saved? Only in Palenque, at the ruins of L'akam Ha, city of the ancient chief K'inich Janahb' Pacal, can the true meaning of the calendar be deciphered... if time does not run out first for contrary to popular belief -- time IS carved in stone.
