Theron, the younger brother of Polites, was informed by Odysseus that he had been slain by Polyphemus on Odysseus' journey back home. Devastated but determined, Theron made the life-threatening, life-changing decision to find this monster and end him once and for all, then find a way to see his brother for the first time in twenty years, without having to be dead. Odysseus insists he should stay at the island of Circe as well to have a place of proper rest and proper care, along with clearer instructions on how to meet his brother once again. Odysseus helps Theron to organize a crew of men, including his friends Kallios, Siromos, and Philocrates, to aid him during his bold, dangerous adventure.

This is the story of 9 chosen children who find their ways to each other and beyond.
