Synopsis

The twelfth expedition enters Area X, a mysterious quarantined zone where nature has gone strange and previous expeditions have ended in madness, death, or worse. The four women — identified only by their roles — discover a tunnel descending into the earth and begin to understand that Area X is more alien and alive than anyone suspected.
