In 2365, Brendan Trent uncovers a ruined structure on his parent's farm in the Gippsland region of south-east Victoria. It was originally found, many years earlier, by his recently deceased Uncle Joel. However, Joel never revisited the site. The discovery puts Brendan in contact with eminent archaeologist, Professor Josiah Stanton, a former colleague of his Uncle's, who along with his team, travels to Australia to uncover the mystery.

It is discovered that the new site has links to the ancient civilisations of Central Mexico, in particular to another site the Professor had discovered in Mexico. The adventure leads the group to London, to further their research, where a member of their party, having been reunited after an estrangement, is kidnapped. The colleague is located and rescued, which leads to a chase and the capture and deaths of the antagonists - except one.
