Our show follows 3 characters, each chosen by the god of Death of their respective culture (Mexican, Japanese, Haïtian), as their powers awaken.

Hunted down and driven away from their homes, they’ll unite forces under one objective: take down the Old Man In The Sky, the deity from which all crusaders draw their powers.

To survive, they’ll have to become God Killers.
