 Driven perfectionist Sarah Silverspoon, furious after years of Second Place at her church s yearly bake sale, sells her soul to the Devil in an attempt to wrest First from dimwitted rival Henrietta George. To Sarah s dismay, the Devil proves to be a depressed inept who loses his every contest with God. Failing to derail Henrietta with Satan s useless schemes, a desperate Sarah pushes him to kill Henrietta. This, too, the Devil botches, and Sarah finds herself faced with her enemy s winning confections even in death.
