Alex has his hands full, scrounging up five bucks each week to pay off the local bully. His life is further complicated when he takes charge of leading an ancient lost soul across the River Styx to the Underworld. Alex's run-ins with Hades, the Minotaur, Medusa, and other characters from Greek mythology make for an educational but overcrowded plot.
