Plot Summary
A decade after the events of the first film, the vampire-human war has entered a dangerous new phase. The Church, now fractured and more corrupt than ever, has declared victory—but the truth is far darker. In the shadows of the Wastelands, a new vampire race is rising: faster, smarter, and immune to sunlight.
The Priest, once disavowed and hidden, is forced back into battle when a mysterious girl, Elara, seeks him out—claiming she holds the key to ending the blood plague. Together with the Priestess and a rogue band of warriors, they uncover a terrifying conspiracy: the Church is experimenting on hybrids, and the line between holy and hellish is blurring fast.
With time running out and trust crumbling, the Priest must choose between the faith that betrayed him and the future that depends on him. But in a world overrun by monsters—some in robes, others with fangs—salvation may require damnation.
