Four men escape a plane crash unharmed, decide they are living on borrowed time and vow to use it challenging the unknown. In their first case, they’re asked to open the four chambers of an ancient box. The chambers release: a stone giant that Prof. destroys by pure thought, a sun that freezes by consuming nearby heat that Red traps in a vacuum chamber, and a device that snarls things in plastic ribbons but is controlled by a dial on its container. Morelian opens the fourth and removes a ring, claiming the box says it contains immortality. He is wrong: immortality was in the box, not the ring.
