'The Near Future'. On a hill near the city of Belfast is an ancient druid circle of standing stones. This is a Pagan place, bad things happen here. It's called 'Sunset Heights'. Law and order is enforced in the city by the rival punishment squads of the Bollermen and the Westies. When Luke Bradley's son is found murdered, rumor leads the squads to Sam Magee, The Preacher, who protests his innocence. Despite this, he is taken to Sunset Heights, where Luke Bradley is chosen to become his reluctant executioner. But another child goes missing and terror sweeps the city. It is said that The Preacher has risen from his grave seeking vengeance.
