Helios, the Greek Sun God torments his son-in-law, Jason, with blasts of sun rays into exposing the tragic events that led to his epic downfall as a legendary hero before an audience of ghosts from his past. Reluctantly, and with the aid of alcohol, he makes a promise to tell the whole truth of what happened to him, his wife Medea, and their children.
Bernadette Armstrong directs Rosney Mauger as Jason.
