Reaper is a slacker comedy adventure series aimed at teens.

Sam Oliver (Bret Harrison) discovers on his 21st birthday that his parents sold his sold to the devil (Ray Wise.)

Many years ago, his dad was ill and they made a deal with devil, if he recovers the devil could have the first born. The Olivers had no plans to have children but the devil was one step ahead. Getting a doctor to tell his dad that he was infertile.

Now all Sam who works on a home depot type store is to be a kind of bounty hunter for the devil. Round up souls who have escaped from hell.

The first target is an arsonist who escaped from hell and now works for the fire service. Sam along with his workmates Sock and Ben find out that catching these escapees is not so easy.

The pilot is not so strong as it needs to establish the premise of the show. At least the rapport is good between Same and his work colleagues. It is notable that the devil himself has no work training scheme for his bounty hunter.
