Inspired by the overarching Egyptian myth, this is the story of four siblings Isis, Osiris, Seth, and Nepthys, descended from the ancient gods of Egypt to live among humanity as mortals. Destined to rule in Egypt, King Osiris and Queen Isis, noble and idealistic luminaries, share a great eternal love and together they have brought the gifts of civilization to their kingdom. On a very different trajectory, their brother Seth seethes with jealousy and is consumed by a desire for power. In order to obtain the kingship, Seth murders Osiris and provokes a conflagration only the devoted Isis can redeem.
