The naive and self-conscious Leah mistakenly signs a pact with the devil Abargadon. But she's on Heaven's hit list, so the Archangel Gabriel intervenes to bring about the demon's demise. But Leah begins to find Abargadon attractive and not so bad. She decides to save his soul.

VIBE

A wild, chaotic ride through a devilishly funny pact. Expect over-the-top performances and a surprisingly sweet, if bizarre, romance. It's pure, unadulterated 90s absurdity that doesn't take itself seriously.
