Otázkou ovšem zůstává, jestli lidé toto varování vyslyší dříve, než bude pozdě… Archeoložka Laura Shepherdová nalezla svého kolegu mrtvého. I ve smrti pevně svíral záhadnou křišťálovou lebku, která je opředena řadou tajemství. Policie si s případem neví rady, a tak Laura začne hledat pravdu sama. Setkání s bývalou majitelkou křišťálové lebky rozmetá celý její dosavadní svět na kousky. Podle mínění oné staré výstřední dámy je totiž lebka branou do světa mrtvých.
