Edwina Langford is a leading professor and archaeologist for the university. When they bring in rising star Charles Smith she is not happy and her misery only increases as they are forced to share an office and classes together.
It all comes to a head when they are forced to share a research grant for a dig in Egypt. Tensions rise and anger grows but things finally come to a head when Charles and Edwina are trapped in a tent together during a sandstorm.
