Всё начиналось как расследование нападения на британского филателиста глубоко в джунглях Британского Гондураса.

Расследуя общественно важное, но не предвещающее ничего экстраординарного преступление, наши герои, углубляясь все глубже в джунгли, наткнулись на следы архитектуры древней цивилизации, но, в итоге, обнаружили нечто иное и опасное не только для местных индейцев.
