In this faux-retro Lost World thriller, anthropologist Chelton Dale guides his lover and his lover's sister from the harbors of Honolulu to the fabled Pacific continent of Mu. There they must survive terrifying and hallucinatory encounters with prehistoric monsters and hostile natives in order to reach the Golden City, where the revelation of the ancient origins of not only Mu's antediluvian civilization, but of mankind itself, await them. In the meanwhile, Chelton's ex-girlfriend, still desperately in love with him, is in hot pursuit, along with a brutal thug who plans to despoil Mu of its riches. But Chelton's relationship with his lover begins to falter when he finds himself falling for the all-wise high priest of Mu; and an ancient prophecy of the final destruction of Mu appears to be about to come to pass. Will any of the protagonists escape the cataclysm which threatens to throw Mu below the waves of the Pacific for all time?
