George lives in all of us. He's the thwarted, tortured soul in man that cannot find a reason to be cheerful in any aspect of life. And that includes a burning desire to write a book. He has to fulfil the promise he made to himself and be free of the guilt of not writing. Life presents rich opportunities in terms of characters and stories. Ideas come to him easily and out of the blue. But equally life gets in the way of writing. We journey through the life of George, from getting drunk and fighting at funerals, to encounters with swingers and dodgy estate agents. We follow the development of characters and plots, as George unwittingly stumbles on the ultimate solution to writer's block. Along the way he not only finds life's purpose, but also manages to unravel the mystery at the very heart of human existence, but only, with the help of the Devil.
