2 in 1 Screenplay and Graphic Novel. Based on the most famous Orphic tale: Search for Eurydice. ~ Synopsis: Orpheus (minstrel of the Argonauts) is distraught upon finding that the mythical healing powers of the Golden Fleece are not enough to resurrect his dead wife. In mourning he plays his most sorrowful song drawing tears from the very eyes of those who rule over the Dead. King and Queen of the Underworld give him one chance to rescue her, but he must stick to one certain rule: To not look back until he has reached the surface. ''If you break this rule she will be lost forever.'' Reincarnated in the present for the entertainment of the gods; Orpheus becomes part of a wager of mythic proportions. Can he rescue his wife by discovering his true identity or will the Valley of Acherusia, (the only known way for a living being to reach the Underworld) still remain a guarded secret. Orpheus holds the belief that she isn't quite dead yet.
