A visually stunning dark fantasy rooted in Chinese mythology, exploring a young outcast's struggle against prophecy and societal rejection to forge his own moral destiny.

A young boy is born as the reincarnation of a demonic power, into a society that hates and fears him. Destined by prophecy to bring destruction to the world, Nezha must choose between good and evil to see if he can change his fate.
