Harley Baker sold his soul to the devil. The hellish fate meant he had to ghost the girl he loved and bail on his best friend. Signing with Satan also turned his body into an Airbnb for every demon in the underworld. Its latest tenant is Yaldabaoth, false god, self-proclaimed creator of the material world, total douche. While out of body, Harley’s forced to watch the imposter squat in his old apartment in Washington DC, weasel its way into his friend’s lives, and schmooze with technology elites. Yaldabaoth’s goal has always been to keep souls trapped in the material world. Now the evil archon thinks it may have found a twenty-first century solution in an immersive platform called Pleromaverse. Luckily for Harley, being damned to hell comes with its privileges. He can possess the bodies of sinners. So, to protect his friends and save souls from a simulated prison, he’s got around an hour in the meatsuits of a porn-addicted priest, a teenaged serial killer, and a billionaire occultist.
