It is midsummer in the year 2038 and snowing in London. James Frankham is a young talented civil servant who is on the fast track to success. Yet, like so many others, James is deceived. His wrong beliefs about reality could cost him dearly as his competitor, Ian Marias, now has leverage over his colleague in relation to a major mistake James has made. The mistake involves a project to protect London from flooding due to global heating.Meanwhile in Hell, the great demon Wormwood is about to take to a podium to deliver his lessons to the junior demons on how to create the many false narratives that pervade the 21st century. Wormwood has learnt well from his Uncle who once sent him a series of letters which were intercepted by another human, C.S Lewis, in the 1940s.Yet as with all presentations in Hell, there must be a human case study. The case study this year is James Frankham and Fiona Jenkins. Fiona's soul belongs to Wormwood's eternal Enemy, God. Fiona is a Christian. It is time to see if Fiona's soul can be won over as James' assigned demon, Saleos, gambles Frankham's soul for hers. An audacious move that, if successful, is sure to win the support of his leader and increase his demonic status proving that he is indeed Wormwood's equal.
