On Thursday, 4th September, 1400bc (give or take a couple of years) the ancient Egyptians suffered the first of ten hideous plagues. Eventually, after suffering boils, the death of their first born, and of course frogs, they let Moses and his people go. Just as well really, because waiting to be unleashed upon them was the worst plague mankind would ever know, to some minds even worse than the frogs. The Eleventh Plague was carefully stored away where it would be safe and beyond the wit of even the most cunning thief. Basically, in a clearly marked jar, on the top shelf, out of the reach of wandering hands. There it stayed for over two millennia, but now it's gone. Believed to have been stolen by the mysterious (and obviously terrorist) group, the Galileists, the plague must be retrieved before it can be unleashed upon an unsuspecting world. Unfortunately for Death 221, the responsibility lies firmly with him. He really should have read the small print on his job contract. His only chance (and mankind's) is to reassemble the team, stop the Galileists, and bring back the Eleventh Plague before it's too late.

When staunch trade unionist Reg Hallsworth gets relocated to Hell few can imagine the trouble it will cause. Certainly not Death Third Class number 221 of the Human Transition Department, who hides him there to cover up his own clerical error. Certainly not Norris who knows nothing of the afterlife, so much so that he doesn't even know Jenny, the girl he's currently dating, is an Angel. His Guardian Angel if you really want to put a label on that sort of thing. And certainly not Jenny who is far too busy trying to help Norris get over his epiphany, his life changing liberation... his nervous breakdown. But with Hell on strike and sinners queuing up to get in they soon will. With a disaster of biblical proportions just around the corner it is up to these unlikely heroes to save the day and find a suitable location to build a new Hell... on Earth. If you had to build a new Hell somewhere on Earth where would you put it?
