Three thousand years ago in North Africa, the rich and powerful city of Carthage flourished, whose inhabitants worshiped two great gods - the dark Moloch and the light Melqart. And only the balance between them ensured order in the world. The symbol of this balance was a sacred two-faced mask, hidden from prying eyes. The priests of Moloch tried to take possession of it in order to provide their god with an advantage in the centuries-old struggle between light and darkness, but the keepers of the mask for centuries cherished it like the apple of their eye. But one day the ancient shrine left the secret sanctuary, splitting into two parts. Since then, the halves of the mask have been traveling around the world, falling into the hands of different people, and cannot be united in any way. Nowadays, a theater actress and a manager of a trading company, strangers to each other, accidentally become owners of the artifact, and a hunt begins for them. Now the girls will have to unite to escape from the priests of the bloodthirsty Moloch, who have already killed many innocent victims.
