How do you punish an immortal, by making him human of course. After angering his father Zeus, the god Apollo is cast down from Olympus into a dumpster. Weak and disoriented, he lands in New York City as a regular teenage boy, pimples and all. Now, without his godly powers, the four-thousand-year-old deity must learn to survive in the modern world unless he can somehow find a way to regain Zeus's favor. But he has many enemies - gods, monsters and mortals who would love to see the former Olympian permanently destroyed. Apollo needs help, and he can think of only one place to go; Camp Half-Blood.
