Driven by visions of his dead father, Professor Caleb Crowe reluctantly joins the Morpheus Initiative, a team of remote-viewing archaeologists determined to locate the remains of the seventh Wonder of the Ancient World - The Pharos Lighthouse - beneath which the legendary treasure of Alexander the Great is rumored to be hidden.
