After a cosmic artifact twists Earth’s greatest superhero into the universe’s deadliest threat, his children must face the father who abandoned them—and choose between saving him or saving the world.

SYNOPSIS:

Once, the world had gods.

They wore symbols, answered crises, and believed their power made them righteous. At the center of it all was Malik Webber, the Pantheon’s greatest hero — a man driven not by glory, but by love. When tragedy strikes and the cost of heroism becomes unbearable, Malik makes a choice that fractures his family, his team, and the world itself.

In the aftermath, the age of unchecked heroes ends.

A new world rises — regulated, surveilled, and built on carefully managed myths.

Twenty years later, Malik’s children, Nova and Jace, live inside that world as sanctioned heroes of the state. They protect a city that fears power while quietly profiting from it, all while carrying the legacy of a father remembered as both savior and monster. When signs emerge that Malik may not be as gone as the world believes, old wounds reopen and buried truths begin to surface.

As forces move to control the narrative and suppress what cannot be contained, Nova and Jace are pushed toward opposing paths — one searching for redemption, the other for finality. What begins as a mystery about a fallen god becomes a reckoning between family, myth, and the systems built to survive them.

Lesser Gods is a grounded, mythic superhero drama about grief, legacy, and what happens after the statues are built — when children inherit the cost of their parents’ power.
