The Devil in the Wide City

4.1/5 ( ratings)

When Ned, a fallen angel who’s as suave as he is brainy, accidentally starts the Great Chicago Fire during an assignment, he all but gives up on ever visiting Earth again- that is until his replacement goes missing, and Ned gets a chance at redemption.

The Devil in the Wide City is an absurdist fictional piece about Ned, a fallen angel who is demoted from his job as a corruptor after starting the Great Chicago Fire. Fortunately for him, his replacement, Gethin, goes missing a century later, and Ned is sent back to modern day Chicago in order to find out why. While tracking his replacement, Ned runs into some local celebrities such as a ghostly Catherine O’Leary, ghoulish Jean Baptiste DuSable and John Dillinger the vampire. However, when Ned crosses paths with Chelsea, an edgy, but lovable bookstore owner, he quickly forgets about his investigation in order to pursue a relationship with the gothic beauty. Can Ned juggle the forces of darkness and his new girlfriend? Not likely.
