Young Nikos, unjustly imprisoned, suddenly finds himself free and seeking only to live a quiet, untroubled life. But when he meets three strangers who are searching for something sacred that was stolen from their homeland, he finds himself helplessly drawn into their lives. Nikos and his new friends soon learn their hallowed relic has fallen into the hands of an evil tyrant whom they believe will use it to become more wicked and powerful. But Nikos doubts such evil exists until a newfound battle within himself becomes too real to deny. Faced with such an undeniable truth about good and evil, he embraces their quest, braving unforeseen dangers and strange occurrences. Caught up in an adventure he never would have chosen and coming face-to-face with terrifying evil, Nikos proves himself to be an unlikely hero.
