Narasimha,
once a brave soldier has left the war and lies low as a physician in a
village. But a familiar face from his past seeks his help to stop the tyranny
of the blind usurper Andhaka. If Narasimha refuses, the world might just end.
What will he do? And why did he leave the war in the first place? Prahlad, the
interim king of Kashyapuri, is torn between the ideals of his unrighteous
father and his love for Lord Vishnu. Whom will he choose? Hiranyakashyap, the
ruler of the Asura Empire, wants to avenge the death of his wife. To do that,
he must go through the Trials and get the ultimate weapon - the Brahmastra. But
the Trials have sent so many others to their death. Can Hiranyakashyap survive?
