After years of studying and spying on modern humanity under the alias of "James Ikol", Loki, the Norse God of Evil, decides to reveal his true Nature, in order to bring Ragnarök to destroy his adoptive family in Asgard.

Yet, although partly understanding his pain, the "monsters" understand that Loki's revenge is misplaced and they will do what it takes to try to reconcile him with his adopted family, in order to avoid a catastrophe that would destroy several worlds !
