Spoilers ahead
On a remote Turkish–Armenian border, a long-dormant volcano roars back to life, unearthing a nest of mysterious eggs that hatch into prehistoric pterodactyls. Prof. Michael Lovecraft [Cameron Daddo] and his partner, Kate Heinlein [Amy Sloan], lead a small field excursion with a tight-knit group of teenagers—Gwen Zelazny [Danna Lee], Jason Donaldson [Howie Lotker], Willis Bradbury [Steve Braun], and Angie Lem [Mircea Monroe]—as they hope to uncover ancient fossils for Michael’s research. The day begins in a Turkish forest with cautious optimism, but the mood shifts quickly as they navigate a muggy heat and a strange, bird-like urine smell that Willis glimpses near a mound before they press on toward a campsite by a lake.
