Woe betide those who do not respect the ancient gods...

A group of archaeologists excavating an uncharted Maya cenote in Yucatán fights for their lives when a bloodthirsty monster mauls the expedition overnight.

The retrieval from the bottom of an uncharted Maya cenote of a gold bead shaped like a frog sends world-renowned museographer Robert Garvin into a frenzy for original Maya art to display in his museums, pursuant to an agreement with the Mexican government for a share of the profits.

In no time, expedition manager Harold Ross cobbles together, on Garvin’s behalf, an archaeological expedition to Yucatán. Ross flies in postgraduate students Ann Kaplan and Neal Child, who carry experimental technology capable of reading glyphs caked in carbonate deposits. Ross also hires controversial archaeologist Mike Trenton, fired from his teaching position for a preposterous paper on waterways connecting ancient Maya cities.

Overnight, as Ross’s new acquisitions arrive at the site, the up-and-coming enterprise faces logistical issues caused by an obscure entity that slays the expedition members. Professor Trenton and Kaplan turn to an inscription wall for clues to the identity of the slayer.
