Synopsis

Since ancient times, a tribe on the African continent has been prophesying that a white boy will arrive to be their god: the Son of the Moon.
David, a 12-year-old orphan who lives in Europe, learns about the prophecy and believes that he is the chosen child and that destiny must be fulfilled at any cost.
Before David can fulfill his prophecy he must escape the heavily guarded scientific organization that has adopted him.

David's strange behavior and the fact that he possesses extrasensory perception,
has attracted the attention of an organization researching so-called 'prodigious beings' in the occult tradition.
David soon discovers that their goal is to channel the moon's energy into a child yet to be born,
robbing him of his rightful place as the Son of the Moon.

Two women, Victoria, a member of the center, and Georgina, the future mother of the supposed moonchild, will help David fulfill his destiny.
After several attempts David manages to escape the center and undergoes a series of new experiences:
love, adventure, supernatural events and even death.
David is relentlessly pursued, pushing him further towards his goal, towards Africa where his fate awaits him.
