Plot

In 2015, a figure claiming to be Zeus, the ancient Greek god of thunder, arrives in Vatican City and claims the Earth as his domain. This event becomes in popular mind and culture known as the Second Coming. In subsequent months, several other figures claiming to be gods and goddesses emerge as if from nowhere, and begin to divide the Earth into different territories. However, soon fighting between the various Pantheons breaks out, and drags the Earth into war.

Unknown to the gods, an underground society known as the Collective suspects that the gods are not who they pretend to be, and seek to create their own new gods to rival those of the ancient pantheons.[4] The Collective is eventually destroyed by the gods, but one member, Gaby, survives, and a generation later has risen to take the identity of the Earth Mother Gaia.

As Gaia, Gaby virtually rules over a world unchallenged by those remnants of gods that still remain. One of her followers, Tansy, travels to Austrailia which has been abandoned since the events of the Second Coming. Once there, she meets a man named Albert Spencer, who survived the Second Coming and has been residing in the Dreamtime with a rag tag group of humans. Together, they use a device to go to heaven and find God with his head blown off. Albert then decides to unite the remnants of Earth's pantheons to lead an assault on Gaia.
