Mali, 2010: In the remote reaches of the Sahara, disparate groups of Islamic fundamentalists affiliated with Al-Qaeda have stealthily taken root.

Against this backdrop, a famed Canadian geologist toiling away at a remote exploration camp near Timbuktu discovers the motherlode of gold like no others. In the aftermath, Ayesha, his beautiful wife, is abducted.

Enters Jake Hall, a young mining executive visiting the camp. As Hall makes a frantic dash to Timbuktu to save his host, he sets in motion a chain of unforeseen events, putting his life on a knife’s edge.

Interweaving the lives of multiple characters, Into the Unknown explores life’s unintended consequences, the strength of the human spirit, and the power of friendship forged in the fire of adversity.
