REBORN

Virtues Constellation

by Justin Williams

Magical Realism. Retro-Mythology.

Twenty-one-year-old Christian Belvedere, a third-generation Parthenon senior and recently diagnosed bipolar, seems to be the only student aware of sinister happenings taking place in Pithon. Unfortunately, Christian’s efforts to bring this information to the attention of the school’s board has earned him behavioral probation, specifically for his allegations against seventy-two students of Pithon, who he learns aren't students at all but deposed Greek gods. He regards this punishment as a death sentence for the school and the rest of humanity when he is forced to submit to medical treatment in order to be readmitted and graduate on time.

But this isn’t the first time Christian has had to choose between two extremes. Should he give in to the psychosis that reveals to him ever-deepening levels of the treachery happening on Parthenon, or does he simply follow the doctor's orders? Suppose he is to graduate on time and protect Parthenon from the ruin the resurrected Greek gods have in store for the campus. In that case, he will have to start making choices that weigh true heroism against ambition and personal loss against the ultimate sacrifice.

Reborn: A Collaborative Indie Film Project

In Reborn: Virtues Constellation, an Ivy League student struggles with what he believes to be bipolar disorder—only to discover he is the reincarnation of Osiris, the ancient Egyptian god of resurrection. As he grapples with visions, unexplainable abilities, and a deepening sense of destiny, he uncovers a secret war brewing within the walls of Parthenon University—a war that threatens the future of humanity itself. The Ancient Greek gods, long thought to be mere myth, have infiltrated the university, using their influence to orchestrate a global power shift. Osiris must awaken his true power and thwart their hostile takeover before the world falls under their control.

Now, in collaboration with Robbie Grayson of Traitmarker Media, Author Justin Williams is bringing this gripping mythology-meets-modern-thriller to the screen. The planned film adaptation will immerse audiences in a world where ancient deities walk among us, secret societies shape global politics, and one man must embrace his divine past to reclaim his future.

The gods are real. The war has begun. And Osiris must rise again.
