Synopsis:
John Constantine hides alone in a camper fearing the wrath of Nergal. John makes contact with Ritchie Simpson who has been trapped in cyberspace since his body died. John enters the computer realm to communicate with Ritchie and devise a plan.

As a result of being tricked by Constantine, Nergal is now subject to the punishment of Hell. As the heralds of Hell try to drag him down, the demon hears Constantine issue a challenge. Agony and Ecstasy allow Nergal to face the mage.

Nergal finds Constantine in the trailer, but his body is now inhabited by Ritchie. Nergal enters the cyberworld to chase John. A chase ensues. John leads Nergal to the edge of Heaven where the angels intervene. Nergal is taken by the angels for punishment.

When John tries to return to his body, Ritchie won't let him have it. John tricks Ritchie into entering Nergal's body. Agony and Ecstasy then drag Ritchie to Hell.
