Description:
Supernatural horror and social satire mix in this dazzling pop variation on the Faustian bargain.
In 1961, Derek Leech emerges fully ormed from the polluted Thames, destined to found a global media empire of pop music, Hollywood movie studios, newspapers, publishers and television.
In 1978, three ambitious young men strike a deal with Leech. They are offered wealth, glamour, and success, but a price must be paid, a sacrafice must be made. . . a conspiracy of lifelong pain against their best friend.
In 1994, Leech's diabolical purpose moves to its conclusion, as the young men struggle against damnation, they realize what the ultimate price really is. With a devil updated for the 1990s, fame becomes a fate worse than death.
