“Kratos embarks on a perilous journey with his estranged son to scatter her ashes from the highest peak – his wife’s dying wish,” reads the official description of the TV series. “Kratos soon realizes the journey is an epic quest in disguise, one that will test the bonds between father and son and force Kratos to fight new gods and monsters for the fate of the world.”
