As punishment for making man as powerful as gods, Prometheus was bound to a rock; every day his immortal body was devoured by a giant eagle. But in The Gift of Fire, those chains cease to be, and the great champion of man walks from that immortal prison into present-day South Central Los Angeles.

But one night Joshua and Ana discover something lingering in the rendered footage.an entity that will lead them into a new age beyond the reality they have come to know.
