Synopsis

Mandy and Owen, charter and only members of WEIRD (Weird Entities In Rightful Domination), experience some unexpected weirdness when a bolt of lightning and a mysterious computer glitch turn their English project into reality, introducing the duo to a series of mythological beings. One after another, Hermes, messenger to the Greek gods; Coyote, the Native American trickster; legendary German hero Siegfried; Lung Nu, a Chinese dragon princess; Russian fairy-tale witch Baba Yaga; and the Celtic Horned King appear, ready to do battle, first with one another, but quickly uniting with the children to defend Earth from unexpected alien invaders.
