I de mest avlägsna delarna av Grönland har en ung forskare hittat en artefakt som legat gömd i en grotta i över tusen år. Det är en femtiotusen år gammal meteorit - känd som Den heliga stenen. Den är mycket radioaktiv och i fel personers ägo skulle dess styrka kunna användas med katastrofala följder. Denna upptäckt placerar forskaren mitt emellan två stridande terroristgrupper som båda vill ha stenen.
