The fire brigade is called out to an electrical fire at an ancient church in the village of Ruac in the Black Perigord region of France. The books in the small library, including one long-lost medieval manuscript discovered behind a smoldering bookcase, sustain smoke and water damage. The books are sent to Paris for cleaning and restoration and there, an expert in medieval manuscripts, Hugo Pineau, picks up the enigmatic script and begins to read the startling 14th-century text. He discovers it to be a fanciful tale of a painted cave and the secrets it contains. Included is a rudimentary map showing the position of a cave along the Vezere River. The Black Perigord is a region swimming in Paleolithic cave art and home to the famous Lascaux Cave, and Hugo is intrigued enough to enlist the help of archaeologist Luc Simard. Together, they go exploring and find a long-buried cave mouth in the wooded cliffs above the river. Inside is a wonder, a unique treasure-trove of wildly-vivid cave art. Luc immediately recognizes the significance of the find- this is perhaps the earliest example of cave art ever discovered. Along with American, Sara Graham, a visiting professor at the Univers
