When real estate developer Vincent Tremayne plans to clear-cut the Bayview Woods, Anthropology Professor Thomas McGrath must figure out a way to stop him. Relying on an obscure law designed to protect Native American relics, McGrath petitions the Stirling Harbor Village Court to mandate a Cultural Impact Survey of the development site. The subsequent discovery of a mysterious artifact puts construction on hold, but a Court-imposed news blackout fuels speculation that a government cover-up is afoot. Meanwhile, everyone is asking the same question… What in the world has been discovered in the woods on the outskirts of town?
