Premise
The story follows I.M.P. (Immediate Murder Professionals), a murder-for-hire company in Hell.[5][6] The members are Blitzo (pronounced "Blitz"), the head of the company, Millie and Moxxie, a married imp couple, and Loona, a hellhound who is Blitzo's daughter. Blitzo also has a tricky relationship with Stolas, a demon prince. Stolas has a book called a grimoire, which I.M.P. needs to do their job, because it allows them to access the human world.[7][8][9]
The series takes place in the same universe as Hazbin Hotel, but with different characters and stories.[10][11][12]
