In Montreal, a football game is interrupted when a sinkhole opens up on the playing field. The resulting hole quickly becomes an archaeological site. It is there that Mohawk academic and archaeologist Baptiste Asigny decides to excavate. As he unearths objects, secrets of the past come to life. Several generations of people from different cultures have occupied this place and lived side by side, sometimes violently. 750 years of history reside in this land. It may even be the place where Jacques Cartier met with Iroquois from the small village of Hochelaga, which would soon be known as Montreal.
