Marsha didn't have an easy ride in life the first time around. She'd been afflicted with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibrodysplasia_ossificans_progressiva fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva], a rare disease which turned parts of her body to bone when they were damaged. Finally she was unable to stand her life any more longer and went to Dignitas, the Swiss euthanasia clinic. She'd thought that would be the end, but after cremation her body went straight to hell and she found herself face-to-face with the devil. And that was when she made the pact. In exchange for details about some of those who had been close to her - their strengths and weaknesses - she would be reborn on the same day to the same parents, but would live her life free of disease.
''Don't make a deal with the devil'', it says on the front cover, and Marsha summed the devil up pretty quickly when she met him, but the chance to live the life she ''wanted'' to live was an opportunity she couldn't give up. And the devil was fair: Marsha lived her life free of disease, but it wasn't free of other problems. What would she make of this second chance? But what of the devil? What was in the deal for him? Well, there was sport. He tempted seven humans - Marsha's friends and family, the ones about whom she'd provided information - into committing seven deadly sins in seven days.
