GENRE: Action, Adventure
LOGLINE: An emotionally guarded archaeologist and his estranged fiancée must race a ruthless rival and Russian mercenaries to recover ancient jade stones, keys to activating a buried alien vessel that could either elevate humanity or end it.

SYNOPSIS:

Steve Carter is a brilliant but emotionally scarred archaeologist, known more for reckless discoveries than academic discipline. Haunted by the death of his parents and driven by a relentless need to prove himself, Steve has spent his life chasing artifacts and outrunning emotional attachments—including the woman he was supposed to marry. When his former mentor, Dr. Winslow, is brutally murdered during an excavation in Central America, Steve is pulled back into a world he tried to leave behind. The killers,Russian General Ivan Sokolov workinf with Demetri Romanoff, Steve’s rival have stolen an ancient codex and a mysterious jade stone tied to long-lost Mesoamerican legends. Steve is recruited by enigmatic billionaire J.D. Barrington to stop them. Much to his discomfort, the mission also reunites him with his ex-fiancée Hannah Reyes a gifted linguist still hurt by Steve’s unexplained disappearance a year earlier. Together, they join an elite mercenary team led by the hardened Hawk, embarking on a dangerous quest across hidden temples, deadly traps, and ancient puzzles to recover the remaining elemental jade stones,keys to unlocking Quetzalcoatl’s Chariot a legendary alien vessel buried beneath a forgotten Mayan city. As Steve confronts ancient riddles and real-world enemies, he also confronts himself. The closer they come to uncovering the truth, the more he must face his greatest fear,not failure, but intimacy and the possibility that he might be capable of love and responsibility after all. In a harrowing final battle, the team activates the alien ship just as Ivan launches a full assault, awakening a massive, bio-mechanical serpent once revered as a god. Amidst collapsing ruins and chaos, Steve must rescue Hannah, defeat Ivan, and make a choice: use the chariot’s power or destroy it. Choosing restraint over glory, Steve sacrifices the chariot to protect humanity. In the aftermath, scarred but alive, Steve emerges not just as a survivor, but as a changed man,no longer running from his past, but walking into the future with Hannah by his side. Undiscovered is a story of myth, danger, and redemption,where the greatest treasure isn’t ancient power, but the courage to stop chasing and start living.
