Plot

In a near-future setting, human society has been devastated by the Gods—beings with superpowers akin to those of archetypal comic book superheroes. These entities arrived on our planet with an offer of assistance but, upon observing our inability to self-govern, insisted that we accept them as leaders. Defiantly, humanity resisted and was subsequently overwhelmed by the Gods' extraordinary powers, resulting in few survivors. The remnants of humanity now engage in a seemingly hopeless guerrilla war against their divine oppressors. Among the survivors is a group known as The Ten Seconders, who have met a man referred to only as The Scientist. He offers to assist humanity in overcoming the Gods but appears to have a mysterious connection to their existence. Now, Jenny, a member of The Ten Seconders, is being transformed into a God by The Scientist in exchange for a strategy to defeat them...
