After Thomas Redpool dies and takes over a portion of Hell, he must stop a plot to utilize his authority for an early Armageddon.
Thomas's story is not one of redemption. Though he'd argue otherwise, Thomas deserves to find himself in Hell. Even so, an eternity of running errands for his demonic employer is too bleak a prospect. Thomas slays his master and takes his place to become Lord of Hell - Sinner's Division, at the Department of the Armageddon. Preying upon his inexperience, one of the other Lords sics a Heavenly Agent on Thomas and usurps his newfound authority. With Satan depressed and useless, Thomas is on his own to defeat this plot or resign himself to a back seat for the End of the World.
