A visionary, genre-defying spiritual jazz odyssey that blends cosmic mythology, Afrofuturism, and social consciousness into a surreal meditation on liberation and transcendence.

Sun Ra and his Solar Myth Arkestra return to Earth after several years in space. Ra proclaims himself "the alter-destiny", meets with inner-city youths and battles with the devil himself to save the black race.
