Spoilers ahead

An elite Special Ops unit, led by Captain Mack, is dispatched by Dr. Elissa Cardell, a CIA operative, to rescue her father, Lee Wesley, a scientist stranded at a desert dig suspected of concealing a bunker for weapons of mass destruction. The team lands at the arid site and quickly confronts an unsettling sight: a priest covered in boils. Their medic, Doc Harrington, administers a sedative to the man in hopes of keeping him from harming anyone. IT specialist Click powers up the elevator and uncovers a cryptic reference to the “Gehenna Project,” a term Cardell insists she does not know. Mack orders communications specialist Nickels to remain on the surface to repair gear and keep watch over the priest while the rest descend into the subterranean chambers.
