Neanderthals are known to have died out some 30,000 years ago, yet stories persist of a relic population, called Almas, still surviving in the mountains of Mongolia. Two investigators travel throughout the country hoping to gather clues from the locals about the rumored creatures. This leads to a stake-out of a rumored Almas cave dwelling. At the New York University lab, DNA samples are analyzed from two skulls said to be of Almases captured during the 1850s.
