Hoping to win the heart of his beloved, dispirited young writer Fabian Hart makes a bargain with the devil. He is given the supernatural ability to move his soul and identity from person to person for as long as he likes, but if he ever returns to his own body, death awaits and the devil will collect his soul. Will Fabian choose to live forever as other people, or die for love as himself?
