Valley of the Scorpion - Tapa blanda

Maggie and Sam Lewis vacation with their daughters vacation on a coral island off the Yucatan peninsula. Hiking, they enter a Mayan temple and encounter an evil creature in the form of a huge scorpion. The scorpion sends each to a different place and time. Each sets out to find the others and each deals with enemies and allies along the way. Everything is at stake and nothing is certain until the end.
