Premise

When their father vanishes without a trace, teenagers Cleo (Meredith Henderson) and Alex Bellows (Christopher Jacot) discover that when they touch artifacts on the screens of the Cyber Museum, a computer program created by their father, they are able to travel into myths.

They become characters in the myths, and strive to keep the myth to its normal progression; a difficult task when confronted by Gorgos, a trickster god who appears in each myth to try to change it. Alex's initial journey into the Cyber Museum is an accident, but soon they both begin searching for their father within the myths. As the series progresses, they realize that their search is much more important than they first realized, as Gorgos is bent on wiping out entire cultures by corrupting their mythologies
