When Trace Ingram woke up that morning it was a recurring dream that took away his peace of mind, but a priest revealed his dream as a supernatural conflict and the battle between good and evil begins. On his way to the Monastery of the Ark to visit the priest who retains his position only because of his value as archaeologist to the Vatican, Trace befriends a hitchhiker. Together they go in search of an ancient golden scroll, and are confronted by the demons of hell.
