When the god Hermes encounters a serpent-woman named Lamia, he restores her human form in exchange for help finding a beautiful nymph.

But their relationship faces a devastating test when the philosopher Apollonius attends their wedding feast and reveals Lamia's true nature, leading to a tragic conclusion.
