While excavating a new business site, heavy equipment operator Doug Stone scrapes a strange object with his earth moving bucket. Dr. Alicia Evans from the University is called in and discovers that this extraordinary box has a mysterious and nefarious history. Staying late that night to lock up, Doug is irrevocably drawn back to the dig site by a power he can't explain. Freeing the strange object from the hard dirt, he discovers two unusual keys which open the box. Initially disappointed at finding a simple, black onyx stone, Doug learns that this rock contains properties like no other. But once blessed with this new power, the recipient finds that it may not be a blessing at all.
