logline

During a dinner party for friends, it's discovered that Les and Dolores' daughter Kimmy has sold her soul to Satan.  One of the guests, a young attorney, convinces the parents that he can find a contract loophole.  But when he confronts Satan, he makes it much worse -- and The Dark One gains hold on the souls of everyone at the party.  The rest of the guests -- a priest, a doctor and a guidance counselor each try their hand at saving the group.
