John Milton (Nicolas Cage) is an undead felon who has broken out of Hell to avenge his murdered daughter and rescue his baby granddaughter. He must kill Jonah King (Billy Burke), a cult leader who tricked Milton's daughter into joining his followers in the wake of Milton's death, only to kill her and her husband and steal their baby daughter to be sacrificed at the full moon in a Satanist ritual to bring hell to earth.
