Uzdravovať v ríši mŕtvych? Ťažká úloha!
Démona si predvolal samotný boh podsvetia – mocný Hádes. Jeho trojhlavý pes Kerberos totiž nie je po návrate zo sveta živých vo svojej koži. Namiesto toho, aby strážil bránu do ríše mŕtvych, kýcha a neznesiteľne zavýja. Hádes má z toho nervy a od Démona chce, aby vo svojom kufríku našiel liek, ktorý by psa vyliečil. Lenže keď sa mu to nepodarí, môže skočiť všelijako. ..
To, čo sa pre Démona začína ako bežný deň, sa končí ďaleko od normálu. Prvý raz v živote sa stretne so svojím otcom, ktorým nie je nik iný ako grécky boh Pan. A ešte v ten deň sa ocitá na Olympe ako chovateľ mýtických zverov. Olympské stajne sú však plné beštií, ktoré nie veľmi ochotne prijímajú človeka, aj keď je to poloboh. Démonove schopnosti budú podrobené veľmi náročnému testu, pretože na želanie bohov musí dať do poriadku obrovský neporiadok v stajniach a postarať sa o zranené šelmy.
