In an alternate version of ancient Egypt where gods live among humans, the merciless god of darkness, Set, seizes the throne from his brother, Osiris, during the coronation of Osiris's son, Horus. Set kills Osiris and blinds Horus by stealing his eyes, which are the source of his power. Set's rule brings chaos and conflict to Egypt, as he imposes a tyrannical regime and plunges the once prosperous and peaceful empire into war and slavery.

A mortal thief named Bek, disillusioned with life under Set's reign, seeks to bring an end to the god's tyranny. Bek steals one of Horus's eyes from Set's treasure vault, hoping to bargain with the fallen god for the life of his beloved, Zaya, who serves as an architect's assistant. Believing Horus is the only one capable of overthrowing Set, Bek makes a pact with the blind deity. The unlikely alliance embarks on a perilous journey to reclaim Horus's lost power, restore balance to the kingdom, and fend off the otherworldly creatures and adversities dispatched by Set to stop them.
