An environmentalist makes a Faustian deal to trade her soul and save mankind

A cast of twenty one actors bring Dr Sarah Chris's Faustian journey to life. A passionate environmental activist endlessly thwarted by the establishment in her efforts to end global warming, Dr Chris is driven to the brink and resorts to summoning the devil and enlisting hell's help to save mankind. The price? Her soul.

Follow Dr Chris and Mephistopheles led by the Seven Deadly Sins questing to save us from ourselves. They meet international leaders, plead with the United Nations and manipulating corporate leaders dripping in self-interest.

This epic journey leads to a confrontation with their ultimate Devil, greed.
