Set up in Greek mythology. Patroclus is a prince who after accidentally killing another boy is exiled to Phthia where he lives with many other boys, Achilles; a semi-god among them. Little by little these two boys come to know each other and become friends. Their journey encounters problems with Gods, wars and division between them.
