Synopsis

The Gift of Fire: Prometheus was punished by the gods for giving man the gift of fire - and setting humankind on its course of knowledge. For making men as powerful as gods, Prometheus was bound to a rock; every day his body was devoured by a giant eagle. But here, those chains cease, and Prometheus walks from that immortal prison into present-day South Central Los Angeles. On the Head of a Pin: Joshua and Ana are working at Jennings-Tremont Enterprises when they make an incredible discovery. JTE is developing advanced animatronics editing techniques to create movies indistinguishable from live action. But one night Joshua and Ana discover something lingering in the rendered footage...an entity that will lead them into an age beyond the reality they have come to know.
