LONG SYNOPSIS

John Smith wakes up in a dark, unknown café. As soon as he regains consciousness, something is burning in his chest. He uncovers his chest to see a glowing magical tattoo (seal) burned into his skin. John tries to get out of the café, but to no avail. On the spot, John knows that he’s not in the normal world but in a fantasy realm built by the Devil. He understands that he’s in an alternate reality and universe.

John walks into the café and sits on the sofa facing the one and only, the Devil himself — dressed in a black Prada suit, smoking an expensive cigar, and enjoying the moment while drinking red wine. John takes a closer look at the shining objects on the Devil’s suit and sees several brooches on his shirt collar — from the all-seeing eye to the square and compass.

An argument erupts between John and the Devil, with John asking, “What about Crowley, Roosevelt, Hoover?” The Devil replies, “I gave them all a chance, and they didn’t disappoint me.”

The devil wants John to be on his side to destroy humanity and bring chaos to the world, and what if all the people are exactly the same thing, what difference would it make. Then the Devil asks John if he ever went to heaven, and the devil says, “Of course not, but let me tell you something, it’s boring. No fun, no risk, no balance”. 

The Devil makes it clear that he wants John with him to bring balance to the world, offering him all the vices any human could desire. John rejects all of the Devil’s temptations to lure him into becoming his right-hand man. But the Devil sits next to John and says, “I think we should talk about your daughter.” That’s when John gets furious and wants to punch him — but this is the Devil’s world, and he is far more powerful.

The Devil offers John a chance to save his daughter from cancer if he joins the Devil’s army. John hesitates — then Gabriel enters the scene, shattering the Devil’s plan.

Gabriel and the Devil fight, but it’s clear that the Devil is much smarter, stronger, and even able to challenge Heaven’s warrior. As they battle, the café is destroyed — until the Devil’s daughter, Synn, appears and stops the fight. She is twice as powerful as the two titans combined.

The Devil leaves the café, but not before giving John a warning that he’ll be in touch. Gabriel reassures John that they’re watching — and that he’s not alone.
