When an ancient artifact never mentioned in history surfaces, it is studied, then passingly considered a relic destined for the museum. Put on display just before a big show there, the curator instructs a pair of night watchmen to keep an eye on things and make sure nothing undesireable happens on the eve of the debut. In the meantime, the discovery of the artifact has not gone unnoticed by a certain malevolent deity. As one museum guard, Carter, checks in on his partner-in- training over the radio, there is no response. Upon disc- overing the whereabouts of his coworker, Carter notices him acting very strangely. When Carter sees his partner holding a museum exhibit in his hands, the trainee disappears into thin air - leaving no trace but a hole torn in mid-air. When Carter approaches to examine, the rip in space pulls him in, and he is hurled into a strange void-like realm. His partner stands before a beautiful woman in flowing robes, asking for immortality in exchange for presenting her the exhibit. However, this woman, who claims to be a goddess, is not at all what she appears to be. After taking her prize, the goddess cuts down Carter's friend, leaving him to die as she transforms into a lanky man in a suit and hat, who then turns his attention to a horrified Carter. Who is this shape-shifting stranger? Why is he after a museum exhibit? What will become of Carter? These are answers to but a few questions that will arise when worlds collide. Gods and goddesses long forgotten will return to the limelight. Heroic figures from long ago will be reborn. Horrific monsters once vanquished will return to wreak havoc. Welcome to the making of a modern legend.
