In this movie Elliot wants to win the heart of the girl next door, Allison. After failing many times Beelzebub shows up and makes a deal with Elliot. She will grant him seven wishes for his soul.

Elliot felt that he was down on his luck and the only chance that he could win the girl would be to make this deal.
