Nothing is sacred in this retelling of ancient stories, except the betrayal and arrogance of a fickle group of gods and their cosmic machinations … Grant will play the seemingly omnipotent, but hopelessly insecure and vengeful Zeus, who has long enjoyed the his status as king. of God. That is, until one morning he wakes up to find a wrinkle on his forehead. The neurosis then comes into play, putting him on a dangerous and paranoid path.
