Good Omens meets La La Land and Percy Jackson in this modern, witty, and emotional reimagining of the lives of ancient deities, you thought you knew.
When twenty-five-year-old music teacher Jenny Handsworth dies saving children on a snowy British road, her soul is sent to a sanctuary run by ancient deities.
His lonely heart captivated by this remarkable person, who thanks magic and brings joy to other souls through music - Hades -the feared Lord of the Underworld, who has spent millennia as an isolated tie-breaker - is given an ultimatum by the High Council.
He has exactly two Earth years to win her heart as a regular human boyfriend.
It is a story of how gentle human gratitude and raw electronic music brings happiness to souls in limbo and one lonely Deity.
What to Expect:
• A charismatic, linen-suit-wearing Lord of the Underworld who desperately needs a better PR department.
• Retelling of some myths you thought you knew
• A sharp-witted British protagonist who introduces human gratitude to the magic of the island.
• A giant, fluffy, three-headed golden retriever who gets easily distracted by birds and cosmic butterflies.
• Behind-the-scenes matchmaking chaos from unexpected divine wingmen.
• Special 'guest' appearances of music legends who have slipped their mortal bonds.
Can a mortal music teacher help rewrite ancient laws, or will the sentient 'Book of Death' claim her soul forever?
