PLOT SUMMARY

Satan is getting ready to retire and wants to hand Hell over to one of his sons. But none of them are really up to the job – the evil Cassius and Adrian flee Hell, leaving it frozen over and their father dying. Only the atypically kind-hearted Nicky can save his father, but only if he can find his siblings and return them to Hell at the exact same time. And he has to do it in a week.
