Typhon, one of the most powerful titans, and Echidna, a splendid snake-woman, were creatures of Greek Mythology, known to be horrible monsters and to have infanted many even worse monstrosities which poisoned the lives of mortals. However, History is written by the winners, and in reality they were far from being monsters, the proof of this appearing in our day. Some of the children of Typhon and Echidna have broken free from Tartarus, coming to a far different world than it once was. At the same time, Hera, queen of Olympus, comes in person with her most terrible accomplices, in order to establish a new order and supplent the other Olympians at the cost of much innocent blood. The "monsters" will do everything to stop her but, because of their appearance, they will be targeted by the American army, forcing them to hide as best they can in a small town. However, they can count on the help of a few brave humans, who will see in them beyond their appearance, and allow them to remain hidden in order to allow them to save this world, whether it be from Hera... or human stupidity !
