In 2009, Geologist Adrian Helmsley and his friend Satnam discover that elements from solar flares have penetrated the Earth's core, setting in motion a future chain of huge disruptions to the Earth which could lead to an apocalypse, coincidentally matching timings and dates given in the ancient Mayan calendar. Governments secretly plan and construct a series of "arks" to hold an elite of officials and those wealthy enough to pay for tickets.
