Wright Cohill - a prophetic editor yet failed author - wakes in a strange building and is taken to a strange women who claims She is The Devil. But no no...what you’ve heard of Her is wrong; apparently after She and God made the Universe together and She broke up with Him, he was understandably upset and thus said a bunch of things He really didn’t mean. And that’s why She needs Wright...to edit Her new - and supposedly more accurate - Bible.
As Wright attempts to determine if what he is experiencing is possible - or even real - he is given an alternate version of the history of the Universe that is more in line with our contemporary ideas of science and the way everything works.
