When war worn journalist Jack Crane receives an unexpected email about a mysterious discovery near The Richat Structure known as the Eye of the Sahara, he thinks it's just another fringe archaeology job.  But when he sees who's leading the team - Lauren, the woman he let slip away, Jack boards a plane to Mauritania.
 
What begins as a standard field assignment, spirals into a harrowing journey through an unforgiving desert.  With a storm at his back and a buried truth ahead, Jack finds himself stranded, half dead and hallucinating...until he meets Augustus - a quiet, enigmatic traveller with nothing but a crust of bread and hope.
