Egy fiatal brit régész kapcsolatba kerül egy etruszk sírok kirablásával foglalkozó nemzetközi hálózattal.
Mindenkinek megvan a maga kimérája; valami, amit megpróbál elérni, de soha nem sikerül megtalálnia. A sírrablók számára az ősi temetkezési helyek kincsei a könnyű meggazdagodás álmát ígérik. Arthur számára azonban a kiméra a nőt jelenti, akit elveszített. Hogy megtalálja, Arthur megküzd a láthatatlannal: mindenütt kutat, és a föld mélyére is leszáll a túlvilági élet kapuját keresve, amelyről a mítoszok mesélnek. Az élők és holtak, az erdők és városok, az ünnepek és magány közötti kalandos utazás során végérvényesen összefonódik a kimérát kereső halandók sorsa.
