An epic of fantasy and adventure that takes place on the streets of São Paulo, Brasília, Rio de Janeiro, New York and Washington, in the confines of the Amazon rainforest, and under the scorching heat of Cuba.
On a day that will never be forgotten, the Dark Lord and the remnants of his evil armies disembark in the heart of the USA, while his enemies, the Peoples of Light, break out in the middle of a storm of destruction in another distant corner of the world: on the main avenue of the largest Brazilian city. The meeting of fantastic beings from a destroyed mystical land with ordinary people of the present day results in a deadly conflict between the moral relativism of the modern world versus the absolute values of Good and Evil, originating from a strange, mysterious and dangerous land.
