„Jsem archeoložka. Ale asi jiná než jste očekávali.“ Vánoce 2015, Sydney, Nový Jižní Wales, Austrálie. Dokážete si představit, jak všechny překvapí, když se v sydneyské zátoce otevře časový portál. A taky si dokážete představit, jak je vyvede z míry, když vedle Harbour Bridge dosedne ohromná pyramida, která nevhodně zaclání Port Jackson, a navíc vyzařuje čirou energii. Dokážete si představit úlek v jejich tvářích, když sem dorazí gangster Cyrrus Guča, profesor Jaanson a mimozemská nájemná vražedkyně Kik Zabiják, aby zářící pyramidu obsadili. A nakonec si asi dokážete představit, jak všechny vyděsí, když jim těsně v patách dorazí skupina podvodníků chystajících se provést svůj zatím nejodvážnější husarský kousek. Tenhle gang sestává z Dlouhonožky (sexy komika), Psohlavce (který má na starosti bezpečnost a palebnou sílu), Mrněte (starajícího se o logistiku), Lopaty (hlavní archeoložky a historičky) a Felčara (jehož povinností je uchránit vesmír před explozí, vedle níž velký třesk vypadá jako provlhlá rachejtle). A když někdo omylem probudí Prastary vesmíru – což podle Felčara nebylo úplně moudré ani rozumné –, věci začnou rázem vypadat velmi komplikovaně.
