Il mercenario Nick Morton ruba all'archeologa Jenny Halsey le indicazioni di un'antica tomba e, nel tentativo di salvarla, finisce per farla bombardare dai droni. Questo apre l'accesso a un'enorme grotta in Mesopotamia, dove si trova il sarcofago della principessa egizia Ahmanet, che ha portato il dio Set sul nostro mondo, ma fu fermata e mummificata prima di completare il rituale. Nick vi entra insieme a Jenny e a Chris, i tre liberano il sarcofago di Ahmanet e lo caricano su un aereo militare, che però precipita su una chiesa in Inghilterra. Jenny si salva dalla caduta, ma Nick dovrebbe sfracellarsi, invece si risveglia in obitorio misteriosamente senza un graffio e con forti allucinazioni che lo attraggono irresistibilmente verso il sarcofago. Basteranno i mezzi dell'organizzazione segreta per cui lavora il dottor Henry Jekyll a spezzare la maledizione della risvegliata e potente principessa Ahmanet?
