Drawn on ancient texts and modern archeology to reveal the trans woman's story hidden underneath the well-known myths of "The Iliad." Achilles has fled her home to live as a woman. When Odysseus comes to recruit the "prince" Achilles for a war against the Hittites, he prepares to die rather than fight as a man. Her divine mother Athena intervenes, transforming her body into the woman's body she always longed for. Immortal Helen, who sees Achilles as a worthy enemy, is in love with her newfound nemesis and sets out to destroy everything and everyone Achilles cherishes, seeking a battle to the death.
