Synopsis:
John Constantine meets Zed, a mysterious woman. He takes her to dinner, then they go back to her place. Before their night can go any further John hears a radio news bulletin announcing that his niece Gemma Masters has gone missing.

John and Zed drive to his sister's house in Liverpool. Cheryl, John's sister, and her husband Tony have become involved with a religious group. They moved Gemma to a new town where she was unhappy. The spirits of three dead girls were able to lure her to the home of their killer.

John performs a divining spell that leads him to the area of Gemma's disappearance. Zed creates an automatic drawing of the killer's house. John finds a boy that leads him to the house. He and Zed then rescue Gemma from the killer. A group from the religious group called God's Warriors then burn down the killer's house. Before leaving John and Zed see the words Damnation Army tattooed on the killer's chest.
