The discovery of one of the last crystal skulls off the coast of Costa Rica, sends Dr Gum and his colleagues to San Jose, where a noted seismologist and amateur archaeologist deciphers the bizarre emanations from inside the crystal skulls. Deadly visions? Past depictions of disasters? or future catastrophes? They find out as Dec 21st 2012, a week away approaches. The end of the Mayan calendar. A series of deadly earthquakes erupt swarming California just before Christmas. The prophecy fulfilled? Dr Gum rides the crest of the wave in his Stearman biplane to find out. He reaches his colleague in the nick of time as everything around him is swallowed up by the horrific upheavals. Only to discover the crystal ball gazing indeed is the actual catastrophe playing itself out right before their eyes. Could they have prevented it? were they not forewarned?
