蕾妮寻求一位前男友的帮助，这位前男友现在是一名考古学家，她试图沿着一张她认为会把他们带到阿塔武斯休眠室的地图走下去。

Renee receives part of an old manuscript from an associate of her Harvard professor, who believed that ancient Egyptians were visited by aliens. He claims he has discovered proof of this and then disappears. Renee visits the Giza plateau and fins she must hook up with an old flame, in fact her love, Raleigh Sinclair, who's a dashing British scoundrel and a rogue archeologist. The two must work together to search the Pyramids to locate the tomb of Askenaton, a Grand Vizier to the Pharaohs and possible ancient Atavus who had mystical powers. Renee and Raleigh have some good hot-tempered banter as they try to outwit each other, while Sandoval arrives to complicate things further.
