Heracles, once a mighty demigod, is now a shadow of his former self, consumed by sorrow. Born of Zeus and a mortal woman, he became the target of Hera's wrath, with his stepmother's jealousy driving him into a murderous rage. In a blind frenzy, he killed the love of his life, Megara. Seeking redemption, Heracles descends into the Underworld to retrieve her. But Megara does not want to be saved.  For Meg, actions speak louder than words, and despite his pleas and promises of freedom, she no longer trusts him. Yet, driven by the desire for vengeance, Megara agrees to escape with him, intending to make him pay for what he's done. Their attempt does not go unnoticed by Hades, the ruler of the Underworld. Surprisingly, he agrees to let them leave, but under one condition: Heracles must not use his godly powers, and they must work together to earn their freedom.
