Act 1:
Marcus, a diligent mortician in his mid-40s, meticulously prepares a corpse laid on the embalming table. Skeletons and preserved organs line the shelves as Marcus methodically mixes various chemicals. A mysterious figure, dressed in a sharp suit, steps out of the shadows. It is Lucifer, the Devil himself.
The mortician that meets the devil. The devil tells him that the next body is a special case, and he gives Marcus specific instructions on how to treat his body. Lucifer hands Marcus a worn-out parchment, on which is scribbled a complex formula.
When the new body comes in, and Marcus prepares the body of a beautiful young woman. It is the devil’s bride. She has one last mission before she leaves earth again: unleash Armageddon.
Act 2:
Marcus lurks in the shadows of a dimly lit hospital ward, filled with innocent newborns resting peacefully. Determined to stop her, he confronts her, but supernatural forces prevent him from interfering. Marcus discovers this, and tries to stop her, but supernatural obstacles get in the way. As Marcus desperately tries to halt the bride’s deadly mission, she looks into his eyes and reads his thoughts. He prays hard, and gets his answer in the form of a mysterious man that comes to visit him. He says he can read her mind also and confuse her thoughts with his but it will cost Marcus his sanity.
Act 3:
Marcus does it. Marcus battles his own mind to confuse and distract the Devil’s bride. Their psychic clash intensifies as Marcus fights to protect the newborns.
With great effort, Marcus manages to gain the upper hand, disorienting the bride long enough to retrieve his trusted .45.
As the bride lunges towards the infants, Marcus roars a prayer for divine intervention and pulls the trigger.
A loud BANG echoes through the ward as the bride’s head is blown off. Her mission is thwarted, and the newborns are saved. He was able to hold her off long enough to blast her head off with a .45. Marcus feels no guilt, for she is already dead. But now, really, really dead. Marcus begins to see “shadows people” all around him, threatening figures, but he is comforted in knowing he undid what could have been a great wrong.
However, the room begins to darken, and sinister shadow people emerge from every corner, threatening Marcus. Though disturbed, he stands tall, having undone what could have brought tragedy upon innocent lives.
With his mind now fragile, Marcus persists, ready to confront the darkness that encroaches upon him, finding solace in the knowledge that he redeemed himself through his extraordinary sacrifice.
