A chance accident traps four strangers in an office-building elevator: a woman who works in the building; a man on his way to a job interview; a man en route to meet his divorce lawyer; and the Devil on his way to kill people on the tenth floor. Incredulous at first, the three humans gradually accept the Devil’s identity as they open up to each other in an animated discussion of the big questions of life: Is God real? Is there free will? Is God all good and the Devil all bad? Why do bad things happen? What happens to us after we die? Are religions man-made? Are different religions incompatible? What is the Devil’s motivation for what he does?
Before rescue crews save them they come to realize that life is about love, and they realize that what makes God good is that he sticks around in the face of trouble -- even though these conclusions don’t make any sense to the Devil.
