Plot Summary

In Hollywood, the aspirant guitar player Martin is a complete loser, living in a dirty trailer and working in a pizzeria. When the band of Lindsay Roberts needs a guitar player, a friend of Martian summons him for an audition during the working period. He offends his boss Tony that does not allow him to go, but he is humiliated in the audition and not accepted by the band. When he asks for his job back, Tony recalls his offense and says no. Further, he is expelled from his trailer by the manager. Martin decides to visit a Voodoo Woman and she promises anything he wants provided he gives his soul to the devil. He accepts the deal and is stabbed on the chest to death. When he wakes up, he is in a comfortable house with the women Michelle, Marilyn and Monique to serve him the way he wants. He visits the band again as the guitar player Angel Martin. He has a conflict with the band leader Jonny and puts his eyes on the girlfriend of Greg and band manager, Lindsay. Soon he becomes a rock star but he learns that he has a price to pay to the devil to keep his dreams. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
