The House of Atreus is cursed. A bloodline tainted by a cycle of violence. This is the story of three women, their fates doomed by the fickle nature of men and gods.

When her sister Helen runs away with a Trojan prince, her husband Agamemnon raises an army against Troy and determines to win, whatever the cost.

Cassandra
Princess of Troy, and cursed to see the future but never to be believed. She is powerless in her knowledge that the city will fall.

Elektra
The youngest daughter of Clytemnestra and Agamemnon, Elektra is horrified by the bloodletting of her kin. But can she escape the curse, or is her own destiny also bound by violence?
