Following the sudden and unexpected death of his partner, John finds himself at a loss to understand why and how this happened. Struggling with grief and depression until he can stand it no longer, one night he decides to end it all. Yet at the exact point of his own demise, John makes a deal with death, and must now journey to Hell to find and retrieve his partner's soul from the devil himself. As his world begins to shift and change around him, the audience take a step into John's life, and experience with him the events that lead to the ultimate doxastic choice.
