A Supernatural Romantic Comedy
Logline:
An angel and a demon compete to see who can determine the future for a human couple just starting to date–but end up falling in love themselves.
Synopsis:
Have you ever had a date that just seemed plagued by every possible mistake? And then also bizarre good luck? Christopher isn’t good at relationships, but now he’s got a big date with Helen, and he’s determined to get it right. But when Helen arrives, things just keep being…weird. Though the new couple can’t see it, anal-retentive angel MARLOWE and his sexy, free-spirited, female demonic rival FAUSTUS are competing over the fate of the couple’s relationship. The goal of Faustus, nicknamed “Horns,” is to break up the couple while Marlowe’s (aka “Halo”) is for them to find true love. These two archenemies have been dueling over human relationships for centuries and they always relish meeting on the battlefield. However, Marlowe’s heart isn’t in it anymore. He’s burned out by losing 43 matches in a row and hopelessly fighting for true love in a selfie world. While Faustus still enjoys the game– the wordplay, the traps and tricks. Winning this match against Marlowe will get her a promotion to an easy job. Marlowe would be busted down to cubicle paperwork.
Eventually the passion erupts between Helen and Christopher. Faustus and Marlowe are left to watch clothes fly out of the bedroom. The demon and angel get excited observing. Marlowe unconsciously touches Faustus, causing the demon to freak out since relations between demons and angels are forbidden.
The date goes so well that just a few months later, Marlowe and Faustus are watching as the human couple move in together. Christopher and Helen are still laughing, excited by each other’s differences. Marlowe is inspired by their love.
So, a new idea comes to him. They play a game and act like humans.
Christmas approaches, and things get tense for the mortal couple when they head to different cities to visit their families, With the humans not being together, Marlowe and Faustus take a vacation. And in the spur of the moment, their desire for each other ignites and they have wild, ethereal sex!
Well, the damage is done. Even if it’s against the rules, Marlowe and Faustus don’t hold back their passion. Trouble lies ahead, however, Christopher gets laid off, becomes lazy and couchbound while Helen gets tired of doing the same old thing. And soon enough, they’re like any other couple, squabbling over who-said-what and whose-parents-are-worse.
Uh-oh. Speaking of parental figures, the rumors have spread to heaven and hell, and head-angel Gabriel and master-demon Beelzebub show up to condemn their immortal bond. Consorting with the other side is against the number-one rule! Both are warned: If this relationship continues, Halo and Horns will be banished to limbo. Faustus quickly ends it.
Marlowe does not show so the demon takes advantage of it and causes Helen and Christopher to break up. Halo returns after, congratulating Horns on his victory. When Christopher chokes on some almonds, Marlowe must reveal himself to Christopher to save the human’s life, breaking another rule. This causes Beelzebub and Gabriel to return and condemn Marlowe to limbo. But Halo is happy since he feels that discovering love has finally made him a true angel of true love. Faustus speaks up, admitting she loves him and insists on accompanying him to limbo. But the Creator interrupts. The Almighty One. And He says Love is everything and for everyone. Rules need to change. And no one is getting punished. Marlowe and Faustus quit their duties and become independent, something an angel or demon has never done.
And not long afterwards, Marlowe and Faustus watch happily as they bring Christopher and Helen back together. Now they just have 43 more couples to fix…
