concept from	For the first 20 years of his life, Sam (Bret Harrison, The Loop, Grounded for Life) wondered why his parents went so easy on him. Whether it was school, sports or career choices, Sam's mom (Allison Hossack, Falcon Beach) and dad (Andrew Airlie, The L Word) always let him get by with the least possible effort. As a result, Sam skipped college, took a dead-end job at the local Work Bench home improvement store and now wastes endless hours playing video games. Everything in his slacker world changed the day Sam turned 21 and discovered the ungodly reason his parents let him slide: they sold his soul to the devil before he was even born.

my take
	Dog the Bounty Hunter meets The Omen with a splash of something else? Sam becomes a bounty hunter for the devil. (Excellent casting with Ray Wise as Satan.) This one's obviously a bit different. Unfortunately, it might be too different. We're back again to the "we want something just like X, but different." It's got a bad slot, which won't help matters. It doesn't seem that bad, but...
