The visionaries are instructed to deliver their dire warning to a young Irish woman, a leading climate activist. They sail to a remote island off the west coast of Ireland to find her. Russian mercenaries and a secret American oil militia are in pursuit to stop them. An unearthly, eerie battle erupts in a dark, pre-historic, stone fort.
