Jarod [Michael T. Weiss] working as a professor and determined artifact hunter becomes entangled in a web of secrets after both he and Andrea Parker receive emails showing their mothers side by side, with a mysterious artifact glimpsed behind them. The clue leads Jarod to a small, hidden compartment beneath a curio shop, where a photograph of his mother appears to have been taken. The shopkeeper, who hints at occult echoes and haunted histories tied to the building, explains that the engraving on the wall is a trace of something older and darker.
