Synopsis "Der Canyon (in German)"

Zehn Forscher sind auf dem Weg durch die große Salzwüste Zentralasiens, um nach Relikten aus der Bronzezeit zu suchen. Unverhofft stoßen sie auf eine merkwürdige Steininschrift, die viele Tausende Jahre alt zu sein scheint. Roman, der Führer der Expedition, steht vor einem Rätsel und fühlt sich plötzlich auf unerklärliche Weise bedroht. Seine düsteren Vorahnungen bewahrheiten sich, als sie in dem kleinen Dorf Kutchah ankommen. Ein Bild des Schreckens bietet sich den Forschern: Allen Dorfbewohnern sind die Kehlen durchgeschnitten worden, und die den Frauen zugefügten Wunden erinnern an die Inschriften auf den Steinen. Welches düstere Geheimnis birgt die Wüste?
