The hero is a janitor with a missing bottle. The bottle is blue, very, very old, and embossed with the image of a goat-horned god. If the liquid in the bottle actually is the secret essence of the universe, as some seem to think, it had better be discovered soon because the bottle is leaking and there is only a drop or two left.
There is an exotic cast, all interested in immortality and/or perfume.
