This story is based on the television series Stargate SG-1, set in Season 7. When the archaeologist in the team, Daniel Jackson, discovers an ancient Greek stone tablet in the New Mexico desert, it leads SG-1 through the Stargate to a world similar to ancient Phoenicia. Here on Tyros, the peaceful inhabitants, the Tyreans, regularly send their children to serve in the temple of their deity, Meleq.

Soon after SG-1 arrive, a peace delegation sent by the Tyreans to their enemies, the Phyrgians, is slaughtered, and the children meant for Meleq, abducted. SG-1's leader, Colonel Jack O'Neill, agrees to lead a mission to recover the children. Meanwhile, fearing Meleq's wrath, the Tyreans send more children to Meleq's temple. However, the Phrygians also abduct the second group of children – and O'Neill with them.
The remainder of SG-1 join forces with the Tyreans to recover him. What SG-1 don't realize is that they about to be pitted against one another in a holy war. For the god, Meleq, is really a Goa'uld, one whom O'Neill has deeply personal reasons for hating, and the Phrygians have been abducting the children in order to save them.
