Professor Malcolm Evans is the leader of an archaeological expedition to the Valley of Temples in southeast Sicily. Liza Harris, his companion and former pupil, is looking forward to her first dig. Liza, on the other hand, has a strange sympathy for the valley, and her recurring dreams appear to be firmly linked to the adjacent ruins. She is captivated to the ruins of a 16th century monastery and its terrible crucifixion narrative. As Liza's passion with learning the truth leads her deeper into the forbidden ruins and more away from sanity, the local villagers rise to safeguard their ancestors' entombed secrets!
