A NEW SERIES THAT WILL CHANGE EVERYTHING YOU
THOUGHT YOU KNEW ABOUT ALIENS, ANGELS AND DEMONS
INTRODUCTION: SEASON 1
SINCE ANCIENT TIMES, OUR PLANET HAS BEEN VISITED BY POWERFUL ALIENS...
who can shift between parallel worlds as easily as we move from sunlight to shadow. Described in our myths as angels, gods and demons, these trans-dimensional beings often walk among us unnoticed, but they are locked in a battle as old as time with the future of humankind hanging in the balance.
​
Threatening our existence are the Archons, a sadistic race who blame Humans for the destruction of their once beautiful realm known as Hades. They have only one purpose - rain terror on the earth and enslave humanity. Standing against them are the Irin, a benevolent race of winged aliens with great power but limited numbers in the earth realm.
The Irin travel between their dimension of Basilea and Earth watching over humanity and keeping their immortal enemies at bay. But now, the evil activity of the Archons is escalating and the Irin must organize a ‘synaxis’- a group of ordinary humans with extraordinary hidden gifts that can save humanity from impending doom.
Lying in the outer Hebrides of Scotland, the tiny isle of Iona holds the key to our salvation - an ancient portal to the Irin’s dimension which can only be re-opened by the Synaxis. As this special group aligns with the Irin, long-dormant powers are awakened within them that will enable them to open the Iona Portal - allowing thousands of Irin warriors to reach Earth and intervene against the Archons.
​
It’s a race against time to drive back the Archon invasion. From the volcanoes of Hawaii to the mountains of Colorado; from the plains of Texas and across the Scottish highlands - the Synaxis must learn to trust each other and their newfound gifts as they struggle against all odds to survive armed psychopaths, supernatural dark-forces and the re-awakening of an ancient volcano. This is IONA!

TURRELL (45-60) - wraithlike with tangled, coal-black hair and sunken eyes, he is Botis’s partner- in-crime. He often wishes he was not constrained by the rules of human engagement set forth by the Ancient Ones.
