The client, aware of Merlin's expertise in religious iconography, requests him to obtain a Sumerian-style demon statue. Upon arriving in Kenya and meeting with a priest sent by the Vatican, Merlin discovers that the Church knows nothing about the fifth-century church, which is itself surrounded by mysteries. Through the introduction of Dr. Sarah (Izabella Scorupco) and others on the excavation team, Merlin finds that the entire excavation process is filled with bizarre occurrences. Archaeologist Besson goes mad during the excavation, and his drawings eerily resemble the demon statue Merlin has seen.

Merlin and his team seem to be sinking deeper into the curse of the demon...
