When Elliot wishes upon a star, he doesn’t expect a constellation to crash into a dungheap on his family farm.
The star is Virgo. She thinks she’s perfect. Elliot doesn’t. And together they release Thanatos, evil Daemon of Death … epic fail.
They need the King of the Gods and his noble steed. Instead, they get a chubby Zeus and his high horse Pegasus.
