Plot

Max dies tragically in a car accident, which takes him straight to hell. Once there, the devil Barney makes him an offer he can not refuse: if he manages to get three innocent young people to sell their souls in the next two months, the character can remain on the land as if nothing had happened. Max accepts the deal and returns to Earth equipped with special powers to achieve his goal. However, his task is more difficult than he expected, especially when Toby, an adorable 7-year-old boy, demands that he marry his mother.
