Synopsis

Psyche is pregnant and alone in the woods at night without food, help, or shelter. She's desperate to find her husband Cupid, but he left after she wounded him. Psyche swears that she will find him and starts off on a long quest that has her wandering homeless and destitute all over the world looking for her husband. Psyche knows that it's not only her marriage that is at stake, but also the immortality of her future child. Worse, Venus soon learns of Cupid and Psyche's marriage, and her anger and hatred of Psyche boils and erupts into a dangerous fury. Psyche is in danger with no one to protect her. Will she find Cupid? Is he even looking for her? What will happen when Venus inevitably finds Psyche? How far is Psyche willing to go for Cupid and their child? Will she go to the underworld itself?
