It is Axl Johnson's 21st birthday - which explains the fire in the sky; the Waitemata Harbour being the colour of blood; the various women who seem to want tohug him; and the sudden need for a family ceremony in a forest.

Axl Johnson learns very quickly that when you're on a Quest to find one woman among millions, your heart is not necessarily the part of your anatomy you should be following.

One of the things about Goddesses is that they can show up anywhere - be it in a library or at a bar. But whether they are the Goddesses you're looking for is a whole other matter.

Sometimes the line between doing the honourable thing and doing the easy thing, can get very blurred - especially when it comes to Gods and their offspring.

Axl lands in trouble when one of the goddesses plants drugs in his car and he also has to deal with a visit from Gaia's controlling father, who is intent on taking her back to Waiheke Island.

It's hammer time, as a road trip to follow a falling star takes the God boys into uncharted territory; to a heartland of darkness where the usual rules no longer apply. The paths of the gods and goddesses cross at a rural funeral and both groups encounter the current incarnation of Thor. But will Axl mate with Derek/Thor's daughter, Delphine? Meanwhile, Olaf and Ingrid bond, and Anders and Michele spar with one another.

Axl reluctantly confesses his secret to Zeb after he overhears Axl saving Anders from three vengeful former girlfriends, and Mike wins big when he visits a casino.

Anders runs fabricated news stories in an attempt to lure Frigg into the open, while Stacey is on the ground, exploring leads from Ingrid's genealogical research.

What if the one you're with isn't necessarily the one you love? And what if the one you love, you love her so much it is dangerous to her health?

Axl is under pressure when he announces to his family that he is in love with Gaia and the wedding to Eva is cancelled, while Mike receives bad news.
