Dionysus, has lost faith in mankind. He decides that the only solution is to travel to Hades with his loyal servant, Xanthias, to bring back his favorite writer--George Bernard Shaw--whose writing will inspire mankind to end their foolish battle. Hilarity ensues, as Dionysos receives advice on how to man-up from his half-brother Herakles and faces his biggest fear in the River Styx...frogs! Once in Hades, Dionysos must turn a blind eye to the fine women and fine wine and complete his mission. Tensions rise as Shaw takes on William Shakespeare in a fierce battle of words, with the winner being awarded the honor of reincarnation.
