Many people ignore God, and follow the path of chasing Fame, Fortune and Power.
This movie shows one such story (although this man is wanting to have SOME Fame, enough to get some good gigs, instead of weddings and bar mitzvahs).
He said the magic words: "I'd sell my soul to the Devil to make it in this business." Satan heard this, and came to him (as a Business Manager), saying that he could help him make it BIG in the music business.
Satan embarrassed him into signing the "contract" ... and POOF, everyone sees him now as Billy Wayne (a HUGE rock star). This new life might have been OK, except that his wife no longer knew him. There was a new hubby for her.
Billy spends the rest of the movie upset at losing his wife, and eventually prays to God to have him released from his contract.
This is an important movie to watch. See how when people get the Fame that they want, the rest of their life gets distorted, and they lose the thing that made their life happy (but didn't know it at the time).
So often, in Show Business, once Fame comes ... their old life fades away: Wife, supportive friends, a life in the slower lane.
Then that life is replaced by things which come along with the trappings of Fame: screaming fans, and people who want to use you, and NO true friends to offer honest perspective to their life.
