Synopsis

Twin prodigies Roger and Dodger were created by an alchemist to embody the Doctrine of Ethos — a cosmic force that could reshape reality. Separated at birth but connected by an inexplicable bond, they must find each other and combine their powers over language and mathematics before their creator can use them to achieve godhood.
