Achilleus, »den bedste af alle grækere«, søn af den grusomme havgudinde Thetis og den legendariske kong Peleus, er stærk, hurtig og smuk, uimodståelig for alle, der møder ham. Patroklos er en kejtet ung prins, forvist fra sit hjemland efter en chokerende voldshandling. Bragt sammen af tilfældet knytter de et ubrydeligt bånd, selv om de risikerer gudernes vrede. De trænes af kentauren Cheiron i krigskunst og lægekunst, men da nyheden kommer om, at Helena af Sparta er blevet bortført, kaldes alle Grækenlands helte til at belejre Troja i hendes navn. Forført af løftet om en strålende skæbne slutter Achilleus sig til deres sag, og splittet mellem kærlighed til og frygt for sin ven følger Patroklos efter. De ved ikke, at de grusomme skæbnegudinder vil sætte dem begge på en prøve som aldrig før og kræve et frygteligt offer.
