Zeus descends from the heavens to find Elpis, his beloved soul reborn among humans. Dismissed as an ordinary man, he enters a temporary marriage to protect her from an unwanted suitor. Her relatives mock him, a privileged rival tries to humiliate him, and dangerous enemies close in. But every threat faces the hidden power of a god. Those who laugh at Elpis's seemingly useless husband don't realize they've challenged the ruler of Olympus.
