In an Iron Age village, eight youths must be sacrificed every five years to a bloodthirsty monster, the Minotaur, who is seen as a god. The offerings are lowered into the Minotaur's vast labyrinth beneath the palace to face the beast...and their death. When his love is lost to the sacrifice, Theo believes she is still alive, and sets off to the palace intent on killing the evil bull-god.
