A young archaeologist joins her crew on a dig on the site of the ancient temple of Kom Ombo, home of the crocodile god Sobek. They only have a short few weeks in the season, and the archaeologist uncovers some personal inscriptions from an apparently young scribe. It's then that we jump back in time, in her imagination, and discover the mystery that the scribe uncovers, plus the daily life in the worker's village. But, will she be able to solve it in time before their dig schedule is about to run out?
