He promises to pay his debt to his grandmother and decides to call the Grail. In his New Orleans office, Herr Starr meets the Allfather, who tells him of his plans to destroy the world by a nuclear apocalypse in preparation for the second coming of the Messiah and that he wants to talk about Jesse Custer.

Hitler works at a fast food sandwich place under an alias, planning a fascist revolution, when the Saint of Killers shows up with Eugene and takes him away in chains. When Jesse and Tulip burn Madame Boyd's body, the Grail arrives at Angelville. In negotiations with Herr Starr about the terms of Jesse's release, Gran'ma demands more souls. Starr agrees to obtain souls from the Japanese soul dealing company, which is owned by the Grail, provided that he can borrow Jesse immediately. Marie L'Angelle consents, but threatens to kill Jesse if Starr doesn't follow through. Before Starr sends Lara Featherstone and Tulip together with Jody undercover to Osaka, Tulip asks Jesse to look after Cassidy. Jesse reveals his plan to kill his grandmother as soon as he has got his powers back. Meanwhile, Cassidy befriends Eccarius and takes part in his scheme with the Children of Blood, even biting one of their disciples. When a gang of priest assassins, hired by the Grail, tries to kill Eccarius and arrest Cassidy, they are defeated by Cassidy. It turns out that Eccarius, unbeknownst to Cassidy, has killed all the victims he turned into vampires. Starr orders his operative Hoover to continue the hunt for Cassidy. T.C. asks Gran'ma about Genesis. When Starr and Jesse arrive at New Orleans, Starr demands that Jesse kill "him" in order to get back his soul fragment and takes Jesse to meet the Allfather, which he was assigned to do. Jesse grabs Starr's gun and shoots the Allfather, who keeps his soul fragment inside his rectum, but he succeeds only in wounding him.

When Jesse is overwhelmed by the Allfather's bodyguards, he is strapped to a gurney. Grail scientists manage to extract Genesis from his body and, after several unsuccessful attempts, transfer it to a Humperdoo clone. The clone is executed before the real Humperdoo is brought into the room. Meanwhile Marie L'Angelle negotiates with Satan, who would claim her soul after her death, to deliver Tulip to him instead. Satan sends Sydney, the Angel of Death, on an errand to get Tulip. Cassidy and Eccarius capture the Grail operative Hoover, who is after them, and turn him into a vampire. Cassidy finds out that Eccarius has murdered all the other vampires in order to increase his supernatural abilities, and he confronts Eccarius. In the fight Eccarius knocks out Cassidy, and Hoover escapes. Tulip, Lara Featherstone and Jody manage to rob the vault of the soul dealing company in Osaka. Upon their return to New Orleans, they are stopped by Sydney, but Tulip tricks her to instead take Featherstone, who still carries the suitcase full of souls. At a bus stop to Hell, they meet the Saint of Killers with Eugene and Hitler. Hitler persuades Featherstone to lend him her cell phone, and he sends a message to a friend at the sandwich place.

Jesse manages to transfer Genesis into the Allfather, causing him to explode before returning to Jesse. He fights successfully with Herr Starr for the vial containing his soul fragment, and gets his powers back. When Starr explains to him that the Allfather has already set in motion a plan to destroy the world and put Humperdoo in charge, Jesse wants to kill Humperdoo, but is not able to shoot him. Instead, he releases him along with all remaining clones, making it impossible to identify the real one, and then he departs back to Angelville. As Starr finds out that Hoover has been turned into a vampire, he is enraged at Jesse. When Cassidy refuses to go along with Eccarius' spree, he is seized by the other vampire, who threatens to kill him. Before Sydney enters the bus to Hell with the others, Tulip walks up to her and persuades her to give her the suitcase full of souls. However, she is exposed by Eugene, and Sydney forces Tulip to enter the bus, while Featherstone and Jody leave with the suitcase. During the ride to Hell, the bus is ambushed by neo-Nazis. When T.C. tells Marie L'Angelle that Jesse has not shown up yet, she answers that Jesse will come back to kill her.

In a flashback, a young Jesse is watched by God and Satan as he attempts unsuccessfully to kill Gran'ma. In the present, T.C. and Jody try to stop Jesse, but Jesse forces T.C. to wound himself and beats Jody in mortal combat at the Tombs, before burning the place down with T.C. choosing to die in the flames. After that, Jesse orders Gran'ma to release him and Tulip from her spells as well as to destroy the suitcase of souls. In spite of his grandmother telling him that he will go to hell if he murders her, he kills her. Tulip, Sydney, and the Saint of Killers fight the neo-Nazis trying to rescue Hitler, who is knocked out by Eugene as he runs away. God stops a shell aimed at Tulip and offers to bless her family if she persuades Jesse to stop looking for him. However, Tulip declines and escapes. When the Saint delivers his captives to Satan, he gets his guns back and learns that it was God's idea to let his family die. After he shoots Satan, Hitler takes the devil's seat, and the Saint departs from Hell with Eugene. Cassidy convinces the Children of Blood, who have been secretly turned into vampires, that Eccarius has killed his former victims, so they turn against their leader and devour him. Just as Hoover shows up and hides with Cassidy under an umbrella, the Grail removes the roof of the building and kills the Children of Blood. Cassidy is captured and brought to Masada, the Grail headquarters, where Starr kills Hoover and plans to torture Cassidy and kill Jesse. Jesse reunites with Tulip and finds out that Cassidy has been taken by the Grail.

Cassidy is in a cell with an outcast Archangel and is tortured by an American mobster called Frank Toscani, who teaches "advanced torture" at the "University of the Grail." Herr Starr loses an ear in the ensuing fight with Jesse. However, Cassidy refuses to leave Masada, seemingly because of a quarrel with Jesse over Tulip. Meanwhile, the Saint of Killers and Eugene Root are still searching for Jesse in the United States. Jesse has some nightmares in which he sees an atomic explosion at a phallic rock formation, his dead father calls him on the phone and tells him to start looking for God again, and he tries to strangle Tulip.

After ongoing torture by having his foreskin cut again and again in front of a class of Grail students, Cassidy breaks from his cell, but fails to escape when he can‘t resist the temptation to take drugs the Grail is hoarding. Posing as an injured Grail agent, Tulip cheats her way into Masada. From an airline pilot, Jesse learns that the rock formation he has seen in his dream is in Australia. When he retrieves his lighter at the brothel of Jesus de Sade, there is a long haired albino man obviously abusing a child. The pilot, who drove Jesse to the place, forces Jesse to help. Herr Starr watches on a CCTV monitor as Jesse enters the house. Afterwards, Jesse is alone on a plane to Australia.

Cassidy thinks back to when he was an Irish freedom fighter during the Easter Rising. After his injured friend was killed by British soldiers, he fled from Dublin. On his way back home, he was attacked and turned into a vampire, so he resigned to not returning to his family. When his cellmate tells him that the angels were moved by his fate, his high spirits are restored. On their journey, Eugene finds out that the Saint of Killers doesn't want an apology like himself, but plans to murder Jesse. Eugene is arrested by the vice squad, after an officer in the adjacent toilet booth coaxes him to put his mouth to a hole in the divider. The Saint shoots the policeman as they drive off. Meanwhile, Agent Featherstone discovers how Tulip sneaked into Masada. At the Grail hospital, Tulip reveals her personality disorder in a Rorschach test, but is discharged anyway. She makes it to Cassidy's cell only to find out that he's been brought back to Bensenhurst. At the brothel, Jesse single-handedly beats all the clients in a fight. Unfortunately, the child has been shot accidentally. In a fit of rage, he kills Jesus de Sade, before he gets back to the airport observed by God.

In New Zealand, a car with the Australian coat of arms delivers the crate containing the remains of their deputy prime minister to some security agents. Tulip and Cassidy arrive in Australia and start looking for Jesse to find that Jesse has been shot by Eugene, who is under arrest. However, the body is missing, so Tulip assumes that he is still alive. Jesse is with the Saint of Killers, who removes the bullet and wants to hunt down God with him in order to kill the Almighty. Tulip and Cassidy follow Jesse to the Outback, but they have no clue where to go, until Tulip stumbles upon a trailer that obviously belongs to God. There she finds a picture postcard of the Lost Apostle, observed by God. They head there on a stolen plane and snatch Jesse on the way. While political tensions grow between New Zealand and Australia, a truck with the New Zealand coat of arms, carrying an atomic bomb, arrives at the Lost Apostle national park. Following a phone call, Starr travels to Australia as well. At the rock formation, while Grail agents arm the nuclear bomb, he and God await Jesse's arrival.

Fiore then shows him a projection of how God fled from Heaven, when he learned that Genesis had escaped, and hints at God's plan to replace humanity by his next creation. Tulip and Cassidy return to Willamsburg, where they seek the help of Dany in exchange for killing her husband. She leads them to the real Humperdoo, who hides inside a synagogue at Jesse's request.

Meanwhile, in spite of being tortured in Hell, Jesse still refuses to sit on God‘s throne. When the Almighty resurrects Jesse from his grave, the two finally meet.
