Patrick and his brother, Jared, had the perfect evil plan. Patrick was to marry Alison, kill her, and then play the grieving husband while he waits to inherit her money. That would set the brothers up for good. The newlyweds go off to New Mexico for their honeymoon. Unfortunately for the brothers, things did not go as planned. While seeking the thrill of adventure, Patrick left his bride in bed, tracked down a local guide, and insisted he takes the forbidden path to the hidden pool in the desert. That is how Patrick ended up a captive of Amara - an odd looking girl whose sole purpose was to rid the world of those with evil hearts. Meanwhile, poor Alison, unaware of the brothers' evil intentions, innocently mourns her husband's disappearance. Three days after Patrick disappeared, Jared followed his trail in a desperate attempt to find him. But just like Patrick, Jared found himself trapped in Amara's world. Will the brothers ever find their way home or will they be trapped forever ?
