The Island Across From TROY

Mythology is far from dead. It continues to live among us in a variety of disguises. Deniz, a brilliant mathematician, discovers that his life has been a replica of another life — the life of Tenes, king of an island in the Aegean 3000 years ago. In the mythological version, the next move is for Achilles to kill him. What can Deniz do? What can anybody do? Can love save him from Achilles’ wrath?
