Synopsis

Did your mother ever tell you not to talk to strangers? John’s mother did. It’s just that over the years, as he became an adult, he forgot -
John walks into his garage and gets into his car. His ordinary life, however, is about to get extraordinary and - end. One of Lucifer’s minions, the Collector, is waiting for him in the car. The Collector shows him scenes from his life. John sees himself rape and murder his daughter and then kill his wife. He then sees the fateful meeting with Lucifer, before finally being ‘collected’. But maybe ‘Old Nick’ has one last trick to play!
