What you see is not actually what you get. Nick Porter is learning that. He inherited a small farm from his grandparents. On the farm there is an old shed. It's not what's in the shed, but what could be under that leads Nick into adventure. Nick finds help from a woman he once knew as Twig. The lady is no longer a twig, but now a beautiful woman, named Samantha. Together, Nick and Sam find good, evil, and a sideways adventure as they discover that the Native American legends about the area are real. They also find a bit of romance, and some special friends on the journey.

A unit of the Seventh Cavalry is on a mission over Afghanistan when their plane is hit by something. The soldiers bail out of the crippled plane, but when the thirteen men and women reach the ground they are not in Afghanistan. Not only are they four thousand miles from their original destination but it appears they have descended two thousand years into the past where primitive forces fight each other with swords and arrows. The platoon is thrown into a battle where they must choose sides quickly or die. They are swept along in a tide of events so powerful that their courage, ingenuity and weapons are tested to the limits of their durability and strength.
