Synopsis: In 1956, Amir leaves his home country of Morocco out of financial necessity. He’s sent to Pas-de-Calais to work in the worst mine in France, known as the Devil’s Island. Shortly after his orientation, he’s assigned to a group that has been ordered to accompany a professor under the pretense of collecting samples. But once they’re down in the deep dark, it quickly becomes clear that the professor has another agenda and that he’s looking for something quite different. When the miners blow up a gallery to access an older mine that had been condemned a century earlier, they uncover a secret chamber filled with traces of an ancient civilization. As the miners realize that the discovery will result in the mine’s closure, greed leads them to do the unthinkable, thus dooming the entire expedition.
