He made a deal with the Devil six centuries ago
and now he’s changing the rules.

Morgan Pym appears to be in his mid-30s, but was in fact born in 1322 AD, in Nuremberg.
In his native land, he was a monk who fell in love with a servant girl (Katrina) who lived near the monastery. Just as he revealed his love to her, Katrina came down with the plague. Enraged at God, Morgan sold his soul to the Devil in exchange for 10 years of happiness with Katrina. But when the time was up, Katrina became ill once again and died.
Distraught, Morgan fought back against the Devil and was offered a deal; he could escape his trip to Hell if he would agree to collect souls from others who had dealt with the Devil.
Six centuries later, he is still tormented: no sleep, no friends, and one call a week with a name of someone in the city of Vancouver. (The Devil has Collectors in every city in the world). Morgan’s simple task - to locate the person and let them know there are only 48 hours remaining until their precious 10 years is up. Why the early warning? The Devil enjoys a good laugh, and watching people squirm for the last 48 hours is one of his great pleasures.
Inspired by a pretty young junkie named Maya, Morgan challenges the Devil to renegotiate his contract once again, by asking for the chance to redeem some of the damned souls in the last 48 hours of their existence. The Devil, intrigued by having a wild card in his otherwise predictable omnipotent existence, agrees to Morgan’s request.
Buoyed by his friend, the young Maya, and pursued by a suspicious investigative reporter, Jeri, Morgan's mission is to prove that everyone, no matter what they've done, can earn redemption… and perhaps one day that may also include him.
