While vacationing with his family in Florida in 2011, he has no idea he is about to fall in love with his eldest son's nineteen-year-old girlfriend, Layla. When several thugs pay the family a violent visit, Walter is forced by one of the madmen to take Layla's innocence at gunpoint. After the madman gives Walter and Layla the monikers, Big Popi and Li'l Freckles, respectively, the silly nicknames stick-and so does their bond. Walter and Layla quickly become united in the furnaces of hell. Walter instinctively knows he has been chosen to protect the enchanted young lady. As he risks his long-time marriage and family to save his new love, Walter suffers gunshot wounds, broken bones, and hurt feelings along the way. When Walter and Layla embark on a quest to find peace, they are led to confront new dangers that include serial killers, fame, fortune, spirits, and the creator of the seven realms. Bonded by a love forged in the furnace of hell, a common man and his new love set out on a heroic journey through the seven realms to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
