Just what does an ambitious woman have to do to get ahead in her professional afterlife? Devil in the Details follows Laura (Emily Wicks), on her first day as the personal secretary of Satan himself (Jack Preston). On a work permit from “upstairs,” she insisted on the placement herself. Heaven might be comfortable, but it doesn’t have much room for advancement.

Laura is quickly introduced to the colourful cast of Hell’s upper-middle management. Between the bickering legal department, incompetent managers and a dissatisfied board of directors, it’s obvious that in death she’s simply traded one corporate hell for another.

Does Laura have what it takes to get Hell’s struggling soul trade back in the black, or is she doomed to spend eternity putting out hellfires?
