Everyday we are guided by consorts, souls of the departed who now act unseen as our conscience in the afterlife. Two consorts are assigned to each living person - one good, one bad. They inform our every thought, decide every choice, always maintaining a balance. Today is a big day. Joe intends on proposing to his girlfriend. Unfortunately for Joe, his evil consort has just arrived for his first day on the job and has a little trouble grasping the rules of the balance. ‘The Balance’ is a dark comedy with a new twist on the devil and angel on our shoulder parable
