The world is no longer the same. The dead have risen and attacked the living, and the all-powerful Church of True Truth, which replaced the fallen government, has promised reparations to the inhabitants. Meet Kess Putnam, a witch and freelance ghost hunter whose body is completely covered in tattoos. She has a real talent for exorcising the dead. But Kess has a problem: she owes a huge amount of money to the drug lord Bump, who - in payment of this debt, sends Kess to dangerous work involving black magic, human sacrifice, a vile demonic creature and enormous energy that can wipe out the city. Add to this another drawn to both the leader of a rival gang and the dangerous mercenary Bump, and Kess began to wonder if her pursuit was worth it? Hell, yes.
