The Devil is Here
The Devil is in The Details
While out performing his duties as a psychopomp, Lucky (AKA the Prince of Hell) accidentally plows into an unsuspecting priest-in-training named Charlie with his sports car, ending the mortal's life decades sooner than planned. Feeling a tad guilty over the accidental severing of Charlie’s mortal coil, Lucky decides to keep an eye on the would-be clergyman by hiding him away in a fancy apartment under the guise of helping him adjust to an afterlife in the wrong place. The problem is, Charlie is a hapless, bumbling bundle of nerves who causes chaos wherever he goes. His do-gooder presence and holier-than-thou aesthetic makes him a target for every demon, devil, and down-and-out resident of Hell’s business district, causing endless migraines for the fiery heir who literally just wants to chill.
At his wit’s end, Lucky's luck seemingly runs out when he's called into the office of his father regarding the sparkling soul that’s ruining the vibes. Oh, and he’s being audited. If he doesn’t clean up his files, his sweet ride will get repo’d and his snooty sister will take over as head psychopomp. That’s when the Prince of Hell gets a brilliant idea that ensures he keeps his car, his job, and his fiery eyes on the handsome priest in the process. Lucky “employs” his strange new tenant to help him fix the years of unorganized chaos. But as the days in the office tick by, Lucky soon realizes that the growing warmth in his chest isn't coming from his eternal flame, but something much worse: feelings.
The devil is a dastardly landlord, and nothing is certain except Death and Taxes... so they’d better get to filing!
