The Devil's gifts to a God-Chosen woman and his proposal, "... be my bride" rejected, charcoal-coloured Aliens are sent to implant into her brain 'compliance', as only she, has the power to re-ignite the flames of Hell. 

SYNOPSIS:

The Black List:

"As a protagonist, Liz is definitely sympathetic (though a bit naïve), thrust into a major conflict against the mother-of-all-enemies. The script offers an ominous, striking villain in the Devil himself, dripping with quiet, confident menace and bringing drama into the story through his sheer presence alone (especially given the dreadful paralysis he seems to inflict on his victims – a unique touch). As the characters endure the terror, the script uses voiceover narration heavily but cleverly, illustrating the characters' panicked, fragmented thoughts in each troubling incident."

Liz is a prominent businesswoman unaware she's been chosen by God, or, of The Devil's intentions.

A sculptured bust of Christ placed in the void of an old Ghost-Gum tree, brings all to the fore.

In the Devil's belief she will accept him, he visits as himself. Firstly emerging from her Barrister's body during a conference, then, taking over Harry, a supporter of Liz' newly-formed political party. Immobilizing her. But her eyes give her body strength as inch-by-inch, just as a poorly-oiled grinder she turns her chair to put him behind her. Then the realization of what she has done terrifies her. "... just one hit and I'm dead!"

Undeterred, the Devil obtains a freshly-deceased body and in a Judge's Full-Bottom wig concealing his face, as 'Warren' he brings gifts and makes promises. "... do this, and it will get you in [to politics]." Then... "And you will be my bride."

Trembling to the core of her being, Liz destroys his gifts and ignores his proposals. But there are others to use.

A milk-docket lost by office junior Fiona on the way to work the previous day is found inserted in the book "Hitler" Warren left for Liz. No amount of contemplation reveals the circumstances of its insertion into a book not yet in their possession. Warren is rejected. Hell is getting colder. In desperation the Devil sends in his Alien goons.

Liz is asleep. She opens her eyes to warm fluid running over her face and sees eight-foot tall charcoal-coloured, tri-step headed Aliens. The closest steps back and fold his arms. She can neither move nor respond to the peril she's in, nor do her senses register any desire to scream for help, move or object.

The length and sharpness of the nails that project from the large knuckled fingers capable of slicing flesh in a single move, are alone, sufficient to cause terror. She falls back into unconsciousness . A dream?... it could have remained so, if not for her mum's discovery of the saturated pillow.

At all cost Hell will, be restored to its former Glory of Terror.

Perhaps Liz' unsuspecting daughter... "my bride!"

AND THE DEVIL CALLED!
