Dr. Arcadia Jones, having stocked up on weapons, clothing, supplies, and a vehicle, drives onto the plateau where the Göbekli Tep is located. She sleeps during the day and moves at night, and then travels on foot until she is at the ancient site. She spies men moving around the area, and discovers a trap door in the center of the dig that leads into hitherto unknown depths. She explores a massive, spiraling cavern that descends deep into the earth, but she is eventually caught and interrogated by a man named ‘The Whisperer of Angerwol’, the leader of the sect.
‘The Whisperer of Angerwol’ is a suave and sophisticated villain, and prepares drinks for him and Arcadia as he entertains her. Her attempts to learn of James's location are met with an offer to dance. Arcadia manages to learn that ‘The Whisperer’ plans on sacrificing James to Angerwol, who he believes sleeps under the cavern.
Arcadia then outsmarts ‘The Whisperer’ and escapes, hiding once again in the caverns. After evading patrolling men, she discovers James locked in a cell, and rescues him. On their way out, they stumble into the lowest room in the cavern, an altar suspended over an endless chasm, where something large and menacing sleeps.
‘The Whisperer of Angerwol’ and the men catch up with them at that moment and tie the two heroes up. Arcadia is secured to a wooden frame, while James is laid on the altar to be sacrificed. Will they manage to escape the villains and safe the world?
