Down to Hades is set in contemporary time: 2026. The underworld has become quite full by now. Due to all the natural disasters, wars and violence, many deaths come across the River Styx every day, which leads to the Underworld. There, the Fates jointly determine the course of life for mortals. They do this by spinning, measuring and cutting the "thread of life" of the mortals.

The God of the Underworld;They need more staff. Only today's staff: “they want a holiday, the workload is too high, they complain about undesirable behavior, have all kinds of principles about equality, etc., etc.”. The ancient Greek gods are driven crazy by the demands of the new generation. They, on the other hand, think the Greek gods are old-fashioned, outdated know-it-alls, who are not at all open to changes and the possibilities of modern times.

In the nightclub, Hades meets the young goddess and beauty Persephone. And Orpheus falls for the beautiful Eurydice. These two blossoming romances are central to Down to Hades.
