A short summary: Alfred is a popular, athletic, and fanatically religious student in southern Ohio who becomes rather enraged when the resident [[StrangeGirl Strange Boy]] Arthur Kirkland [[FelonyMisdemeanor steals his parking space]]. In a quickly escalating retribution, Alfred winds up turning the majority of the student body against Arthur's bizarre habits and social apathy. Arthur means to take a minor revenge by scrawling an occult symbol on Alfred's hand; however, it seems, he has less control over the demon he's summoned than he had previously anticipated.
