After several Egyptian reformers are assassinated, the IMF team investigates the head of the Cairo museum's ancient studies department, who has revived the cult of Seth through sacrificial rituals. A henchman disguised as a mummy carries out killings to silence potential informants, while the IMF infiltrates an archaeological dig to uncover evidence of the cult's ancient origins. Meanwhile, a mission to undermine the cult leader's authority ends in disaster when one team member is captured and set to be the next sacrifice.
