Can the greatest warrior in the world learn that true strength begins with self-control?
Achilles is the bravest and strongest warrior in the Greek army. But when his pride is wounded, anger takes over. Instead of thinking calmly, he makes a choice that hurts not only himself, but also the people he cares about most.
Will Achilles continue to let anger guide him, or will he discover that the greatest heroes are the ones who learn to master themselves?
