After the fall of Troy, Odysseus, the legendary king of Ithaca, embarks on what should have been a brief voyage home. Instead, he is swept into a decade-long odyssey across treacherous seas, where he confronts monstrous creatures, vengeful gods, enchanting temptresses, and impossible trials. As each challenge tests his intelligence and determination, he loses every one of his companions, leaving him to face his greatest battles alone.

Meanwhile, in Ithaca, his faithful wife Penelope struggles to protect their kingdom from ambitious suitors who believe Odysseus will never return.
