Meryam and Adam make their living taking risks, but nothing prepares them for what they find on Mount Ararat's legendary slopes. An avalanche reveals a massive cave in the Turkish mountain, and the pair becomes the first to reach it. What they discover defies explanation: the cave contains an ancient ship buried deep in time, a vessel some believe to be Noah's Ark itself. Their team of scholars, archaeologists and filmmakers explores the relic's depths, where they find a coffin marked with indecipherable symbols. Inside lies a twisted, horned corpse. As a storm builds outside the mountain, terror begins consuming the expedition members. Something stalks them through the ancient corridors, and they must flee down the mountain. The question becomes whether the raging blizzard poses the greatest threat, or if the evil they have awakened will claim them all.
