Synopsis
Loki has survived the end of the old world at Ragnarok and is trapped in the Netherworld, tormented there. When humans begin to dream of the fallen gods again, he finds a way out and returns to the living world, sharing the mind of a troubled seventeen-year-old girl named Jumps, who resents the intrusion. Her friends have also been taken over by gods: Odin, who is in a wheelchair, and Freya. Thor escapes too and takes over a dog. Odin plans to restore the power of the Norse gods, but Loki has his own plans, and a dark power that travelled with him threatens to wreck everything he wants.
