The story unfolds with complications: Beauty undergoes realistic changes during pregnancy, Florian's first-born child is claimed by Satan due to a pact securing Florian's success, and a fiery saint threatens divine retribution. Florian teeters on the brink of damnation, only to be saved when Satan and the angel Michael conspire to turn recent events into a dream once more. Given a rare second chance, Florian learns from his experiences.
