Not a new idea, but think of the gods of Ancient Egypt, Ancient Rome, and Ancient Greece - they didn't look like us, they were extremely powerful. What if they were real - an alien life that came to Earth with different agendas.

Fast forward to the 20th century - one particular country - the U.S. is picking up the way ancient Rome did with being very militaristic and... well... it may not be coincidence.

What happens when the gods of old pick up their old grudges and start playing with more powerful 'toys'?

They are playing a Long Game - and we might not see how it ends.
