Lucifer options his life story-from his starring role with Adam and Eve to his struggles with an autocratic God-to a film producer and torments Declan's lover, Viola, with the promise of a juicy part in the upcoming movie. Lucifer narrates his romps through escort service dates, cocaine-laced nights and, mostly, the thrills of the wondrous human sensorium. The vacant body belongs to Declan Gunn, a writer on the brink of suicide. The grim alternative for Lucifer is to subsist in eternal nothingness. God gives his evil subaltern a month in a human body, with an option to own, thus permanently casting off his pain-racked cosmological being.
