Derrick Young spent a lifetime being called the weird kid... too imaginative, too different, never quite fitting in.
As an 80-year-old world-renowned author, he sets out to write about the truth in Greek mythology, but he never expects to meet the gods themselves-displaced, forgotten, and living hidden lives in modern Greece.
Derrick Young's research trip becomes something far more extraordinary when he encounters them living and working in the modern era. They have a story to tell-one that could shatter the foundations of Western religion.
According to their testimonies, the gods and goddesses still exist, are prayed to, and are worshipped to this day. The other gods weren't replaced-they were betrayed, displaced, and silenced for over two millennia.
Now, for the first time, they're ready to speak their truth.
From hidden villages in the Greek islands to the peak of Mount Olympus itself, Derrick records shocking interviews with gods, goddesses, and even ancient saints who reveal how their authentic identities were stolen and rewritten. Each testimony exposes another layer of cosmic manipulation: prophecies perverted, justice corrupted, love condemned, and fertility transformed into shame.
But speaking truth to divine power comes with consequences. As Derrick's book threatens to expose deception, he faces persecution, death threats, and manipulation that reaches across millennia. Even the gods themselves may not all be what they seem.
