It's "Death Note" meets "The Evil Dead".
JOE (29) works in a construction company in Salem with CARLOS (24), an illegal immigrant from Chile, who is also his assistant, friend, and a very good computer expert. Joe's main problems are of two kinds: financial and familial.
Financially, he owes the interest from horse-racing bets to a mobster (over which his goons slash Joe’s right cheek with a dagger), a lot of instalments for his professional truck and a large sum for his home mortgage. Joe has a three day deadline to repay his debtors, otherwise he will lose everything. Including his life.
In regards to the family issues, Joe’s wife dies tragically in a car accident where he was the one driving and that’s how he gets a burn mark on his left cheek. His wife’s parents blame Joe for the accident and move to Seattle, taking with them, against his will, his daughter, ANNY (2) .
Joe is living on the edge with self-destructive tendencies up until the renovation of a burned house, where a book in the basement is discovered. Carlos is the first to find it, but it is presented to him as an old, dusty, and worn-out book so he discards it as useless. Soon after, it appears to Joe with his cover shimmering with colorful gems. All its pages are blank, except the first, where a text is written in calligraphic, golden, bright letters:
"Stranger, this is the Book of your life. Its white pages are waiting for you to write your wishes on and they will come true. You win some, you lose some. It’s up to you".
Joe, drowning in debt, notes his first wish with a cheap, almost inkless pen, and a very bad handwriting: "I want to get rich." The very next day, he surprisingly learns that he has won a record of $1.6 billion in the Mega Millions Lottery jackpot. He opens the Book again and discovers that his wish is now written in calligraphic, bright, golden letters.
His next wish is for the burn and the scar marks to disappear from his face. Without realizing it, one by one, his desires refer to the Seven Deadly Sins: Pride, Greed, Lust, Envy, Gluttony, Wrath, and Sloth. Every wish that is fulfilled presents visual, auditory or olfactory illusions, which are respectively associated with the symbolizing animal of every sin (Rooster, Frog, Goat, Snake, Pig, Lion, and Snail). At the same time, the corresponding demon of each sin (Lucifer, Mammon, Asmodeus, Leviathan, Beelzebub, Satan/Amon and Belphegor) is released.
Joe moves to Seattle to claim his daughter back and buys a rooftop apartment on the Nexus skyscraper. There he meets BETH (16), a deaf, epileptic girl who is bullied at her school, but has the gift of seeing paranormal entities and undergoes extracorporeal experiences. Influenced by the demons of Deadly Sins, Joe abandons Carlos, who is threatened with deportation, and eventually befriends Beth. With each wish, however, he gets one step closer to death. Frail as he has now become and after writing six wishes in the Book (Jealousy remaining), Beth explains to him why his life has turned into a nightmare. The only answers to his questions (what kind of Book is this? Where do his metaphysical properties come from? How could he get rid of it?) are to win Carlos' friendship back, return to Salem and together find out who the book owner was.
The series consists of 9 episodes, belongs to the Supernatural Genre and is adorned with elements of occultism, magic, exorcism, Dark Web, Conscious Dream and extracorporeal experiences with the dominant element being the Ticking Clock.
