Venus & Vitalis
Rom-Com

In modern day decadent Hollywood the immortal goddess Venus is dumped by the insatiable Helen of Troy, so her cosmic father Uranus declares humanity corrupted by lust.

If Venus fails, Uranus will unleash the fires of Hell upon humanity. But if Venus succeeds, mankind will be blessed with ambrosia, eternal life and eternal love.
