The story follows a man's journey seeking revenge on a dragon who stole his heart. On his way, the man is brought back to life as an 'Arisen'. An action-adventure about a man challenged by demons who represent the seven deadly sins of humans."
It was further reported by Polygon that the "show will pick up in a world where the Dragon hasn’t attacked for over 100 years until suddenly the Dragon reappears and attacks a small village. A villager named Ethan tries to protect his family, but things don’t exactly work out.
