Picture the scene. It is 17th century France on a cold december night. The streets are empty and still, and through the dark Parisian night comes a young woman, running for her life. There are thirteen police on horse back not far behind. When finally, the young woman falls to the ground the police kick her into the gutter and seize her handbag. But inside it, they find not the stolen gold they had hoped for, but a small, helpless baby. They lift the baby out of the bag. The woman from the gutter cries out “No!”. One police man pulls back the small blanket from around the baby's head and drops the infant in horror. “The Devil!” he shouts, “The Devil!”. The police turn to look at the small child who looks back at them with angelic eyes, and the flaming, red hair of satan. Soon after, the head of the french police comes forward and orders both the woman and child to death. The judge however, can not bare to put a baby to death, however evil it may be. He throws the woman into the sea and condemns the child to spend the rest of it's life at the end of the world. The child is taken to fleetwood. Here she is cared for by the locals and is taken in by the Eccleshare family who bring her up as their own. As she grows up, she knows not of her mysterious past, but often feels she is unlike the other boys and girls. She knows not of the satanic blood inside her, but knows there is something within her which she must let out. She eventually finds the most effective way of doing this is via a microphone.

 They say the devil comes in many forms. In the fifty's they burnt elvis records, in the sixty's John Lennon said they we're bigger than Jesus, in the seventy's Jonny Rotten claimed he was an anti-christ. What could possibly come after all that? Could the devil himself grace us with his presence?
