โฆ Synopsis
In the silent caves of deepest France, young archaeologist Julia
Kerrigan unearths an ancient skull, with a hole bored through the
forehead. After she reveals her discovery, her colleague is killed in
suspicious circumstances.
Meanwhile, in the jungles of south-east
Asia photographer Jake Thurby is offered a curious assignment by a
beautiful and determined Cambodian lawyer who is investigating finds at
the mysterious 2000-year-old Plain of Jars. Finds which the authorities
have gone to great lengths to keep secret. No one knows why.
Back in England, an aged professor has been brutally and elaborately murdered. The murder remains unsolved.
As
the archaeologist, lawyer and photographer pursue their separate quests
to discover the truth, an underlying pattern begins to emerge, which
connects these far-flung events in the most terrifying and unimaginable
way. And it soon becomes clear that those who seek to unlock the
compelling puzzle will be risking very much more than their lives.
