Synopsis

Souls keep the endless flames burning in the furnaces of Hell...

Mephistopheles has his eye on a holiday from the burden and boredom of processing the endless supply of bad and shrunken souls in Hell.  

He has an idea... Could the soul of an unenriched life be secured in advance and then grown, providing enough fuel for him to earn a vacation?

After making a deal with his boss Lucifer, Mephistopheles sets out to secure the soul of George Faust - a wealthy man who is dying and who has spent a lifetime serving only himself.

Can Faust be redeemed by seeing the error of his ways and allowing his soul to grow again, or will Mephistopheles' plan fail and neither get way they need?
