Based on Disney Hyperion's best-selling book series by author Rick Riordan, the show follows a young man on dangerous quest across America to return Zeus' master bolt and stop an all-out war.
Along the way, Percy, who discovers he's a demigod, will have to outrun monsters and outwit gods while trying to get closer to the answers he seeks.
