A THUMBNAIL SYNOPSIS

                        Satan sends a demon named Tanya to compromise Father John, the one honest man on earth, by getting him to seduce Elena Feingold, a young girl to whom John is secretly attracted and who adores him.  John’s priestly vow of celibacy is very strong, so it will not be an easy assignment for Tanya.  Half demon and half human, she can be seen by humans when she wishes.

                        Tanya is a  succubus, a kind of demon that makes love to men at night causing wet dreams, but Tanya hates men and refuses ever to sleep with them.  However, when the human part of  her unexpectedly falls in love with Father John, problems arise that endanger her mission and threaten to enrage Satan. 

                        The triangle between Father John, Elena and Tanya is further complicated by Elena’s protective grandfather who is the town psychiatrist cum sheriff, by the angry, unruly demons, and by two seminary students who devise a magic potion to exorcise demons.

            The story takes place in Hell and in Connecticut.
