SYNOPSYS
Planet Earth, year 2960 AD. A group of uranium hunters returns to the blue planet in search of the precious metal. The crackling of the Geiger counter leads one team member deep into a cave. There, the explorer encounters an ancient relic from the old world, awakening it from a slumber that had lasted for centuries, perhaps millennia.
