A dramatic journey through a present tense view of Tom Sanders, who is an Afro-American archaeologist that will unknowingly rip open the theory of time travel. When hes assigned a mission that will set his life on an innovative path after the undiscovered territory to save a life.

A primeval Mayan Indian tribe that once populated a metropolis deep in the jungle of Mexico vanished off the face of the earth thousands of years ago. Volatile and degrading scenarios set a platform for a perilous adventure when four destinies collide at the intersection of life. Tom Sanders a retired Navy Seal and infamous archaeologist is called upon by Dr. Baldwin; the director of a New York Museum to find the Mayan lost city of Tikal. Tom is pushed to the edge of his breaking point when several members of his crew suffer horrendous deaths caused by uncanny events. He must find resolve when turmoil comes from just around the next corner.

Tom Sanders calls on his beloved friend Susan Anderson for her invaluable expertise in deciphering ancient glyphs. They find an artifact that later turns out to be a key that can open the doors to the future and the past. During this journey, his feelings cultivate even stronger for her as they make the biggest discovery of their careers. Calamity strikes Susan at the hands of a sadistic religious fanatic; Peter Stanley, who believes that he has his own kingdom waiting for him in heaven. Another close friend, Jon Henderson gets himself into a big dilemma dealing with a lethal Russian mobster (Mr. Keloff), as desperation comes to a boil; Jon makes matters worse by naively stealing a cursed artifact from Tom in order to save his own skin.
