Orpheus is a world-famous pop singer with two great loves: Eurydice is his wife and a sculptress who designs his album covers, and Calais is his sound engineer and lover. At one of his concert rehearsals, an electrical malfunction briefly kills Orpheus, sending him to a dreary Underworld derived from the metro. Hades and Persephone (Creator/MarieFrancePisier) are willing to forgive the intrusion, as it was a clerical error, so long as Orpheus doesn't tell a soul where he's been. But when Eurydice dies of a drug overdose, Orpheus decides to head back to the Underworld to save his wife's soul, regardless of what Calais thinks.
