Eli is an ancient supernatural entity who finally attains human freedom when an elderly tycoon uses his final wish to release him. The liberty carries a strict contractual caveat: Eli must spend five years wed to the tycoon's haughty granddaughter, Christine. Taking mortality in stride, Eli works quietly behind the scenes, using his vast arcane intellect to transform Christine's faltering enterprise into a commercial powerhouse while enduring her persistent mockery and emotional indifference.
As the five-year deadline approaches, Christine welcomes back an unfaithful ex-flame and insults Eli's perceived worthlessness before the entire board. Having faithfully fulfilled his cosmic bargain, Eli ceases his invisible commercial protection and files for divorce. With Christine's corporate standing rapidly collapsing without his unseen intervention, Eli embraces his complete autonomy, leaving his arrogant spouse to face reality alone.
