He is accompanied by the nieces boyfriend Hicks Cam Gigandet, who is a wasteland sheriff, and a former Warrior Priestess Maggie Q.

A centuries long war between humans and vampires has devastated the planets surface and led to a theocracy under an organization called The Church. They constructed giant walled cities to protect mankind and developed a group of elite warriors, the Priests, to turn the tide against the vampires. The majority of the vampires were killed, while the remainder were placed in reservations. With the war over, the Clergy disbanded the Priests. Outside the walled cities, some humans seek out a living, free from the totalitarian control of the Church.Priest is approached by Hicks, the sheriff of Augustine, a free town. Priest learns that his brother and his wife, Shannon Priests girlfriend before he entered the priesthood were mortally wounded in a vampire attack, and Priests niece, Lucy, was kidnapped. Hicks asks for Priests help in rescuing Lucy. Priest asks the Clergy to reinstate his authority, but Church leader Monsignor Orelas Christopher Plummer does not believe the vampire story and refuses. Priest leaves the city and Orelas sends three Priests and a Priestess to bring him back. ........
