A young Aztec boy is saved from death by the gods and chosen to act as ‘humanity’s champion,’ forced to discard his apathy toward his fellow man and prove humanity’s potential in a fight that spans across fantastical-yet-authentic Mesoamerican cultures.
As Mictlantecuhtli initiates a blood war, the other Gods consider destroying humanity altogether. Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca make a side bet to see if the “lowest-of-the-low” can serve as humanity’s champion to save the human race. In Uxmal, a tragic decision sets Izel’s destiny in motion.
Jaguar emissary Yaotl informs Izel of his task to close the five gates to the Underworld. An unexpected foe forces Izel to confront his destiny.
Izel heads to Ox Te’Tuun to retrieve an artifact containing the map to the gates. There, he meets twin Ulama ballplayers, as well as mysterious figure from his past.
Izel, K’in and Yun head towards the second gate at Lakamha, where they encounter a warrior looking to bargain.
As the group heads for Danibaan, one of them suffers a horrifying injury. With nowhere left to turn, they seek help from a mysterious healer.
After an unexpected shift in plans, the group find themselves in the remote city of Tajin, where they are immediately arrested for a crime they didn’t commit.
The group becomes trapped in the Underworld. Zyanya struggles to hide her secret.
Mictecacihuatl sends the group to Danibaan. Zyanya’s secret is revealed.
On the run from Mictecacihuatl, the group seeks refuge in a remote village.
Reeling from Mictecacihuatl’s attacks, the group reconvenes at the final gate. Tensions run high as Yaotl’s motives are scrutinized.
A glimpse into the past reveals the true machinations of the Gods.
As the final gate looms and the Gods close in, Izel faces an impossible choice.
