Lia and Sean, a young Irish couple living in New York, are drawn into odd political maneuverings and mysterious discoveries in a small Eastern European country where Sean, a young archeologist is working on an excavation. They stumble on buried secrets involving the powerful Polonia family, who seem to be opposed to the excavation.
As Sean excavates ancient miniature statues, he unwittingly starts an investigation that uncovers old secrets. His team is headed by a well-respected but strangely disinterested archeologist. Sean was pleased to be hired to work on the dig, as it will help him gain valuable experience, but he is shaken by the ethically troubling requests made by his boss. Why would a renowned archeologist sabotage his own excavation?
