When Zeus's master bolt (the thing that allows him to create lightning whenever he wants) is stolen, Poseidon is blamed for the theft. Zeus tells Poseidon that the master bolt must be returned to Mount Olympus by the summer solstice, or else he will declare war on Poseidon. with the help of his friends Grover and Annabeth (a smart demi-goddess and daughter of Athena) they were able to give back master bolt to Zeus.
