In a world where a clandestine antiquities trade thrives, Eastern thieves systematically plunder their own museums and ancient sites, smuggling artifacts to the West for exorbitant sums. As ISIS invades Syria, a daring professor and his team of archaeologists become spies, navigating danger to expose the illicit network, document trafficked antiquities, unveil Facebook's dark involvement, and challenge the very pillars of the antiquities collecting realm. Their mission teeters on the brink of success or catastrophic failure, where the preservation of their country's history hangs in the balance.
