Centuries ago, Morgan Pym made a deal with Satan: his soul, in exchange for 10 years with his one true love. After she died, Morgan--desperate to avoid eternity in hell--agreed to become a Collector, charged with collecting souls from those who had made deals with Satan. Morgan's deal with the devil includes one additional clause: Morgan is allowed 48 hours with each client to try to redeem them before they are condemned to hell.
Morgan asks the Devil for permission to try to save the souls of his clients.
