Four broke friends sell their souls and get homework from Satan. Due tomorrow.
In a forsaken, dilapidated town, four inseparable friends long for a brighter future and unwittingly forge a sinister bargain with the devil to transform their destinies. This ill-fated agreement leads to a fiendish pact where they must relinquish their souls in return for their most profound desires. When the friends resist, the devil presents them with an insurmountable task: unravel an enigmatic riddle within a mere 24 hours or endure eternal damnation. As the friends race against time to decipher the conundrum, they soon discover that the devil has even more nefarious schemes in store.
Acting
Clint Glenn Hummel's Lucifer—charming, petty, probably your ex's type.
Practical Effects
Grotty small-town decay that feels authentically cursed, not CGI.
Writing
The riddle itself: genuinely clever, not insulting to the audience.
Director
Eric Mathis
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Eric Mathis shot this in an actual dying Louisiana town scheduled for demolition; some 'sets' were real condemned buildings.
The 24-hour structure deliberately mirrors classic fairy-tale bargains, but replaces 'clever peasant' with desperate working-class friends who've never been the protagonists before.
