Spoilers ahead
In the scorching Arizona desert, archaeologists uncover a skeleton that seems to be a werewolf, kicking off a chain of tense discoveries and stubborn disagreements. The ill-tempered foreman, Yuri, clashes with his crew—Tommy, Joel, and Bill—until a heated brawl leaves Tommy scratched by the eerie find. The moment seeds a ripple of fear among the workers, and even the usual bravado starts to falter. The head archaeologist, Noel, publicly brushes off any Native American superstition, yet in a private meeting later that day, he hints at a troubling possibility: a mythic figure known as a yetiglanchi might be more real than anyone wants to admit.
