Elise, Kara, Z and Patty arrive at a Greek archaeological excavation carrying professional frustrations and personal upheavals they would rather handle alone. An artifact that contradicts the site's accepted history gives their leader reason to conceal what they have found. Protecting the discovery means questioning his authority and forming an alliance with colleagues whose differences have kept them apart.
