In a near-drowning experience, an eight-ray sun mark appears on the nape of young LEXIE's neck. Years later, Alexander the Great calls her on an adventure to find him.
As she turns eighteen, Greek American Lexie and her Asian princess friend are studying for a college assignment on greatness at the New York Public Library. A strange earthquake reveals a mysterious black bookmarked with an eight-rayed sun on the cover. Inside, they find information and maps pointing to the tomb of Alexander the Great. DAMON, a powerful politician and leader of the Sphinx Organisation, wants the book to claim Alexander's gold and the ultimate power to rule the world. However, an Egyptian cult leader steals the book, believing it holds the key to a prophecy that will resurrect Alexander. Damon kills most of the cult members and recovers the book and the necessary artefacts for a spring resurrection ceremony. Knowing that Lexie can interpret the book and unlock Alexander's treasures, Damon takes her parents hostage and forces Lexie to travel to Greece.
In Vergina, Alexander's birthplace, Lexie encounters a British archaeologist working for Damon. Soon after, Sphinx soldiers imprison her in a nearby camp, where she learns her parents are also being held. Lexie attempts to free them, but Damon straps her parents with bombs, insisting the sacred ceremony must take place at sunrise. With the archaeologist's help, Lexie unexpectedly discovers Alexander's sarcophagus and treasure, but not all the essential artefacts are there. A series of events lead Lexie to a dark well, where she confronts her fear of drowning. She uncovers the crypt containing Alexander's mummy, throne, and a powerful golden wreath in Alexandria, Egypt. Damon is revealed to be her cousin, and Lexie learns she is Alexander's last living descendant. Damon proposes they rule the world together, but Lexie refuses, sparking a fight over Alexander's wreath and its power.
Damon wins the fight and, along with his army, transforms into powerful creatures. Now, Lexie must master her newfound powers to save her parents and the world.
