Jerry Canfield has long made a living by smuggling Meso-American artifacts into the United States and selling them to dealers in the Santa Fe art market. He is a hustler and a former numbers runner with an aptitude for cards, mathematics and amateur archeology. On a trip to Belize to acquire pre-Columbian relics, he finds a peculiar green glass contained in a metal frame. The glass is found in a Mayan tomb recently uncovered by an earthquake. The inscriptions on the metal are not Mayan, but in long-dead Middle Eastern languages. The Mayan tomb dates from a pre-Columbian time when metal and glass were unknown in the Americas. Canfield solves the secret of the glass and discovers that by looking through the glass, one can see the future. However, the future that can be viewed is limited—only five minutes and fifty seconds ahead of the present. Canfield realizes that, even with future knowledge of less than six minutes, the holder can obtain riches, power, and control over destiny.
