Pete died and went to Hell ten years ago, but now that the Devil's quit his job maybe it's time for a change. So, along with his best friend, the demon Dante, they break out of Hell and return to Earth. Their attempts to escape responsibility are short lived, of course, and soon they're dragged kicking and screaming into infernal politics. Soon they find themselves interrogating eldritch abominations beyond imagination, immortal alchemists and even the Holy Ghost Pirate. Will Dante and Pete ever get all this crap squared away and get a chance to rest?
