Jeff Moore is a famous controversial archaeologist, who has just recovered an ancient Mayan artifact, which had been stolen years earlier from the hands of the Hong Kong Chinese mafia. He plans to take the first ship, in this case an old Japanese liner, towards Europe, with the idea of taking the artifact to the Madrid Museum. However, this ship is also used by a UN contingent, with an exceptional alliance of Americans and Russians. Their objective is to bring a terrible, highly sought-after Russian criminal, named Ivan Narasoff, nicknamed the Siberian Bear, to be tried in La Haye for numerous crimes committed in Russia and Asia. Lately, he is believed to be behind some terrorist attacks by Middle Eastern extremists committed in China in retaliation for their recent interventions. By transporting him by ship, the UN agents hope not to have any surprises. However, once on the open sea, terrorists complicit with "the Bear" find him and want to free him, giving him back his real supervillain equipment. However, the worst threat comes from the artifact itself which, once again on an ocean, obviously triggered a signal to call for help the ancient amphibian servants of the Gods who reigned over South America ! So, despite their many differences, everyone on this ship will have to make a choice : kill each other and leave the remains to these creatures... or ignore their differences and work together to confront them and, perhaps, survive !
