The Pitch: Unlucky-in-love Elliot (Fraser) signs a deal with the devil A deal with the Devil, pact with the Devil, or Faustian bargain is a cultural motif widespread wherever the Devil is vividly present, most familiar in the legend of Faust and the figure of Mephistopheles, but elemental to many Christian folktales. and gets seven wishes to try to win true love. The Reason we care: In the "every action has an equal and opposite reaction" category, one of Elliot's wishes to be mere attractive to woman finds him living as a gay man--complete with lover.
