After completing his schooling at Harvard and Yale, eight years pass before Max meets the first of the twelve.

With this first meeting, Max’s voyage of discovery begins, as he strives to uncover the identities and implications of the twelve individuals—individuals that he will meet during his journey towards truth, all of whom seem connected, and all of whom may hold the answer to what will happen at the exact moment the world might actually end.
