A bored Water God named Perth decides to play a cruel prank on humans - withholding rain from falling on Earth for 18 long years - but the tables turn on him when the concerned Goddess of Life gives him an ultimatum. It's either Perth takes a bride from the humans or the Goddess will continue to disturb his peace. Out of options, Perth promises to let The Oracle choose the bride, believing that the magical item known for being picky in owners will end up choosing no one.

Back on Earth, a young man is paying the price for circumstances surrounding his birth that is beyond his control.  This is Saint, an 18 year old orphan shunned by society and taunted for being "the cursed child". His beauty is envied by women and puzzles the men which leads to his misery as he is bullied and tormented every day.

A festival in honor of the Water God, a ritual of human offerings, and The Oracle choosing a bride...It is the day it all starts,  the day their lives - both God and mortal - intertwines.

It is the day it all changes, like ripples on still water.
