Bryne McAllister, a renowned scientist, found signs of an ancient civilization hidden beneath the Antarctic ice shelf. Soon after, he began to gather scientists for an archeological dig that would take place during the Antarctic winter. Though his plans took a sudden turn when he met a young linguist, Rachel Madison. Irrationally drawn to her, he invited Rachel to join the dig, giving the team the impression that his intentions were not entirely scientific. Soon after the team arrived, it soon became clear there was no turning back. After studying the ruins, no one except Rachel realized that the ancient ruins were those of the Biblical civilization, Babel. This knowledge allowed her to recognize the presence of evil that science might have caused, and could not necessarily ablate. As the team members are slowly changed by something within the ruins, McAllister has to realize that a God he did not believe in, the God so important in Rachel's life, might be their only hope for survival.
