Sam, a University of Toronto History student, receives a letter informing him that he has inherited some property in Bulgaria, the country of his parents.

Somewhat reluctantly, he decides to go there accompanied by his best friend Ben, a charming young man with a flair for languages and adventure. In the country of his parents Sam comes face to face with a different reality which gives rise to a series of uncanny dreams and questions about his own identity.

The short, pleasant trip the two friends were envisaging turns into a whirlwind of encounters which take them to the site of one the most sacred Thracian cities and throw them in the pursuit of a relic of world-changing importance and into the arms of the beautiful and mysterious Ana.
