The epic world of living myth collides with the mundane realities and cultural upheavals of contemporary India. An all-powerful super-being awakens to fight the Last War of the Age--only to discover he's been sent too early for the End Days and must somehow learn to exist in a world that's too small and too frail to survive his presence. Watch humanity react to the challenges of a paragon in thier midst. Avatarex will either raise us to his level, or we will drag him down to ours. The challenge is if the embodiment of our highest aspirations can exist side-by-side with our all-too human failings. The gulf between what-we-wish-we-could-be and what-we-are could destroy us.
