L'esercito del console romano Attilio Regolo, sbarcato in Africa durante la prima guerra punica, si accampa lungo il fiume Bagradas. Una presenza oscura e possente si fa sentire ma non vedere. Strani eventi iniziano ad accadere. Il panico serpeggia tra le fila dei legionari. Un ichneuta, il cacciatore di tracce, scoprirà una realtà spaventosa contro cui un intero esercito si trova inerme... il mostro del Bagradas!
