They found her the first time, but it’s going to be infinitely harder to find her down the hall. Manager, I need a different room.” See that? Not a different hotel, a different room. Someone breaks into her hotel room? “Well, Mr. “Oh, someone I don’t know just gave me a message to meet someone else I don’t know in a cemetery? I’ll be right there.” Um, she’s worried about her life at this point, and she goes skipping off into the unknown. She never seemed to grasp how bad the baddies were. She discovers a cave, gets roughed up by some random dude, and all of a sudden she’s running around the French countryside, away from the bad guys, and trying to find out the meaning of the labyrinth while having crazy dreams. I couldn’t really buy Alice’s reaction to anything in the present. It was moving a little too slowly for me, but at least I could see where the characters were coming from, I understood the tension, and I felt like they were reacting to it realistically.

Unbeknownst to her, she has stumbled on a secret that a lot of people have been searching for, most who would do anything to find it, and she’s caught right in the middle of it.Ĭenturies earlier, Alaïs Pelletier is caught up in even bigger events. She finds an altar, a labyrinth, and two skeletons inside. Alice Tanner is helping out on an archaeological dig in the south of France when she finds a cave that obviously has some significance.
