Plot

On holiday in Egypt with her archaeologist father George and journalist mother Emily, nine-year-old Susie Hacker is approached by a mysterious blind woman who gives her an amulet. Soon after, George becomes blind when he enters a previously unexplored tomb. His vision returns, however, upon returning to New York City. Susie, her younger brother Tommy, and their au pair, Jamie Lee, are affected by the amulet, gaining supernatural access to dimensional doorways. When George's eyesight returns, he describes the design on the wall of the tomb he'd entered to a colleague named Wiler.
