Years later, circumstances surrounding this mystery resurface.

The group decides to undertake their own dangerous expedition to the remote site to search for answers. When their scientific assault of the mystery results only in dead ends, Dan must dig deeper to understand his father’s motivations. What follows is a revelation of the human spirit as Dan discovers the direction home.
