After a sinkhole opens in the Antarctic Ocean just off the Ross Ice Shelf a team is sent to investigate and map the uncharted depths. Unfortunately, the adventure is derailed when the team is forced to fend off monstrous sea-life like giant spider crabs, suicidal octopi and a pod of raging-mad killer whales. The coup de grace, though, is the giant eel-like monster that destroys two of the team's exploratory submersibles before trying to take a bite out of the hovering underwater complex itself ... threatening to sink it to the bottom of the 30,000-foot-deep chasm.

The journal leads the explorers to the site of the ruined village in the shadow of a mountain—a hollow mountain with a colossal ziggurat inside. It is a temple built to honor one of the Moche religion’s chief deities—a building-sized spider known as The Decapitator. Once revered for its strength and protection, this colossal Spider is now a caged monster driven insane by centuries of isolation. The massive beast stalks the group through the cavernous temple, ready to torture and slay the entire academic expedition.

The entire mission objective is only one line long: search and destroy. A team of elite soldiers are sent back in time through a tech-enhanced rift to arrive 100 million years in Earth’s past–the Cretaceous. The time of dinosaurs. Their goal is to hunt down and eradicate a swarm of genetically modified super-predators codenamed Goliath. Unfortunately, they suffer numerous casualties due to an unexpected menace.
