Mylo, a teenager, narrates his strange life: his mother was turned into a dandelion years ago, his father is supposedly an ancient Greek sun god who disappeared, and he lives with his cryptic 110-year-old grandmother. Although he doubts the supernatural stories she tells, strange things begin happening that make them seem more believable.
At school, Mylo spends time with his best friend Lucas and starts realizing confusing feelings about him. When they sneak onto the school roof, a janitor reveals himself to be a monster and attacks them. Mylo instinctively grabs a magical Greek sword and kills the creature, but Lucas is poisoned in the fight.
While Lucas recovers, he dreams of his deceased mother, who reveals that his true father is the god Hermes. Meanwhile, a non-binary demigod named Alex, child of Hades and Persephone, struggles with family conflict in the Underworld. Mylo and Lucas accidentally stumble into the Underworld and meet Alex, who initially suspects them of trespassing past Cerberus.
Elsewhere, another demigod named Miko in Tokyo fights off a mythological Fury using lightning from a magical ring, then returns home to an abusive household. When a Child Protective Services worker visits, Miko desperately tries to hide the abuse and pretend everything is normal.
