Filip has returned to ordinary life after his time as the Devil's apprentice, but the memories of that period still weigh on him. He misses his friends in Hell, and when a chance to go back comes up he takes it. The underworld and the world of the living have been hit by a catastrophe: Death's dice have been stolen, and immortality is spreading among people. The Grim Reaper asks Filip for help in tracking down the thief, and in Death's cellar Filip makes a terrible discovery.
