PORTAL TO HELL

A routine debt collector's life is turned upside down when a portal to hell opens in his local laundromat, followed by a demon who offers him a deal – three souls to save his neighbour from being dragged to hell.

Dunn is a debt collector. His life is interrupted when a demon explains in no uncertain terms that he’s come through a portal to drag Dunn’s neighbour, Mr. Bobshank, to hell. Bobshank owes a debt. Helping people pay their debts is what Dunn does best. A deal is offered – three souls to save Bobshank. Dunn says no. But one of his debtors follows him to the laundromat and well… once you do one, what’s another two? Dunn makes good on his end of the bargain. But the portal stays. The demon explains. Who gets into heaven isn’t up to God or the Devil. It’s up to you. Bobshank hasn’t forgiven himself. Dunn can convince Bobshank to do just that. Or find a 4th soul. The question Dunn has to answer is if you throw away everyone that’s made mistakes, who’s left?
