The young priest Ivan Isaacs accepts an assignment and begins researching the Domas Porada, an ancient relic that the Vatican brought to his attention. This at a time when he stood with a heavy heart between his forbidden love for his adoptive sister Gena and his service in the name of the Church.
Tormented by visions, after weeks of diligent work, he unravels the cruel secret of the old pillar. It contains the resting place of the once reborn renegade Archangel Temozarela and his mortal enemy Belial. As a result of a demonic ritual, the endlessly hateful Temozarela is unleashed and turns the earth into hell. Ivan himself is now part of the struggle of all those who have fallen away from God. A diabolical pact with Belial brings him back among the people as the undead. This is dependent on him because of the mass marauding hordes of zombies and demons. Armed with silver bullets and a bewitched blade, his journey begins to seek revenge for past events. He keeps a diary on his way.
