Antes do grande dilúvio, na era dos gigantes, a Serra do Roncador foi um dos últimos refúgios contra o poder do mal. Sobre ela viviam sete tribos originárias dos setes deuses filhos de Yamandú. Elas viviam em paz e harmonia ate o dia em que Jurupari foi seduzido pela grandeza das terras baixas. Ele quebrou o pacto firmado entre seu pai e Ioroque, o senhor do escuro, e desafiou a autoridade de seu irmo mais velho, Tup. Desde ento, muitos levantes e infortunios se sucederam, colocando em risco a segurança e o destino dos povos do Roncador: Jurupari foi banido para o submundo; os bons deuses se mudaram para o Manaos; e os moradores da serra perderam a imortalidade. Entretanto do Araxa nasceu Ruda, o menino de pele alva e coraço bondoso. Foi perseguido e lançado da serra por seus irmos, sobreviveu a queda e ao ataque do ultimo dinossauro e encontrou a amizade verdadeira em um tatu gigante e tres xerinoterios. Os deuses acreditam que so ele pode salvar o Roncador, mesmo ele no aceitando essa responsabilidade. Xingu significa "a casa dos deuses" e e uma historia sobre a relaço deles com os primeiros mortais, mas tambem sobre a cultura dos povos originarios do Brasil.
