423 BCE. The Gods are hungry. The greatest city of her age, Athens, has fallen: wracked with plague, war, drink, sex, and a dark fog of nihilism slowly eating away at her light. A young, troubled Aristophanes walks through the twilight of his civilization, and when a Persian demands that he save Greece, Aris must stand and fight: for the past, for the future, and against spirits who might be more than marble statues in a temple. What do you regret? What would you do to change it?
