After cleaning up the small Texas town of Salvation, reuniting with his long-lost mother and having a psychic one-on-one with the omnipotent spiritual entity living inside his head, the Reverend Jesse Custer is finally ready to face up to the damage that his apparent death and unexplained absence have inflicted on the love of his life, Tulip O'Hare.
Reconciling with Tulip, however, is the easy part -- the real test comes in discovering the true nature of the man he considered his best friend, the Irish vampire Cassidy. The more Jesse learns of Cassidy's dark history, the more betrayal he finds, and the greater the demand grows for a reckoning -- something that his mutilated, tormented nemesis, the Grail conspiracy's Herr Starr, is working towards as well.
