What's it about?
It's a well-known fact that Zeus fathered a huge number of children, full gods and demi-gods alike. The Half God of Rainfall follows one of Zeus's offspring, Demi, a half-Nigerian half-Olympian basketball player whose godly gift causes rivers to overflow when he cries. His journey of success stirs feelings of jealousy within his father and leaves Demi to deal with the volatile and vengeful Zeus.
