Max spends his time doing crossword puzzles, digging for fossils, and caring for his sick mother. Unintentionally digging a hole into Hell, Max ends up with a devil in his basement. In an attempt to heal his mom, Max makes increasingly dangerous deals with Burg, the junk-food-loving devil. Damico presents a darkly humorous adventure that will leave readers laughing while they cry.
