SHOW SYNOPSIS

 

A young boy named Percy Jackson has never quite found a place where he belongs—until the day his substitute math teacher attacks him, and he's whisked away to Camp Half-Blood. There, he learns he's the son of Poseidon and must go on a quest to clear his father's name and stop a war among the gods. Alongside his friends Annabeth and Grover, Percy sets out for the Underworld to save the world, facing terrifying monsters, manipulative gods, and even a mischievous squirrel along the way—each obstacle bringing the trio closer to their goal.
