His proposition is for them to acquire the Rock of Lazarus, an ancient relic capable of returning souls back to Earth. In return for this, he guarantees $8000 up front and $100,000 when the job's done. However, troubles soon arise as they encounter demons and Simon Magus, an evil sorcerer believing he is the son of God. Hilarity Ensues.

Tropes used in Soulkeeper include:
  • Anti Christ: Simon Magus.
  • Grand Theft Me: An entire cult is made up of formerly damned souls now inhabiting the bodies of the living in order to experience earthly pleasures. Eventually one of the main characters is threatened with having his body stolen by the demonic leader, Simon Magus, who shoots himself in the head in order to die and allow his soul to possess another.
  • Horny Devils: There is a brothel full of these. Explained as damned souls in prostitute bodies, they otherwise appear to embody all the stereotypical succubus traits, and even transform into large demonic forms at various points.
