David, a 12-year-old orphan in Europe, learns about the prophecy that a white boy will arrive to be their god: the Son of the Moon. He 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 from the heavily guarded scientific organization that has adopted him.
David's strange behavior and extrasensory perception attract 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 assist David in fulfilling his destiny: Victoria, a member of the center, and Georgina, the future mother of the supposed moonchild. 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 towards Africa where his fate awaits him.
