Odín teme que los hijos de Loki lleven el germen del caos y amenacen el equilibrio en los nueve mundos y por ello decide epararlos de su padre y confinarlos para conjurar el peligro que suponen.

Un misterioso constructor se ofrece a reconstruir las murallas del reino, pero exige a cambio un precio desorbitado: el sol, la luna, y la mano de la bella diosa Freya. Es el momento que esperaba Loki para ganarse la confianza de los dioses, pero sus planes se tuercen y pronto se verá obligado a emplear sus singulares poderes para evitar el desastre.
