In the history of Hell, no mortal soul has ever escaped. Is history about to change? 28 year old Zoë has it all: brains, beauty and a wealthy husband who worships her. But, when her husband discovers her infidelity, he murders her. A moment later, she awakens on a dark beach surrounded by confused men and women as Hell begins to reveal itself to her. Meanwhile, on a nearby cliff stands Cole, Satan's least favorite son. As punishment for his latest act of insubordination, Cole has been assigned the most menial of tasks: collect the newest arrivals. But, as he witnesses Zoë rushing away from the beach, he notices something strange about her; no mortal can run in Hell! As he catches up to her, he realizes something about her that even she is unaware of. A secret so amazing and rare that it must be shared with the population of Hell. Instead, Cole devises a plan to dethrone his father in order to take his place as ruler: he will help Zoë escape from Hell. But, as the denizens of Hell become aware of Zoë's secret, a civil war erupts which could disrupt Cole's plan and change the very face of Hell, forever.
