An American archeologist and his two children, Jay and Lila Co oper, seek God's protection and guidance as they journey to the Near East in search of a biblical treasure which is buried in a place local residents believe is cursed.

After her Air Force flight is hijacked and crashes, Lila becomes trapped in a secret weapons pod at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, unable to do anything but wait for rescue--and when Jay and their father try to save her, they find themselves racing a group of terrorists to the pod.
