A greedy adventurer claims a mythical dagger, and awakens an ancient evil with a hunger for human flesh. Thanks to financier Harry Vargas, Darren McCall can scour the globe in search of priceless treasures. In his quest to retrieve a bejeweled blade from a sacred burial ground, however, McCall stirs a vicious creature made of half flora, and half fauna. Now that the beast has been awoken, only flesh and blood will satisfy its unholy appetite.
