Seventeen years later, Iapetus's son, the stoic Atlas, lives in a loveless house, under the care of his uncle, Cronus, and in the shadow of his charismatic cousin Z. Knowing little about the tragic circumstances of his father's life, Atlas must choose between his desire to flee the island and his loyalty to the uncle who raised him. Time passes.
