A lighthearted supernatural comedy about a naive woman who accidentally makes a deal with the devil and falls for him, blending religious absurdity with romantic redemption.

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.
