Ohanzeeeeee, the winged skeleton Phoebe howled until she woke James from his nightmare inside the Rosita hospital and scared the farmboy into hitchhiking across America to hunt down the sociopath known as the bald man. After he befriends a grieving Bob and Lauren on the road, the three are taken hostage by the Campground Killer and surrendered to Sister Angelica's all-female cult in San Francisco called the First Church of Radiance. Once the prisoners discover her Master's plan to resurrect the Medicine Man and his Black Mountain Army from Hell by sacrificing the brainwashed congregation, they must put their faith in Sheriff Dwyer and a ragtag group of Laredoans to rescue them before Phoebe exacts her revenge on the priestess' church. PART TWO: THE BALD MAN forces James to let go of his virgin soul, embrace his cursed new life and study the Fire in order to resurrect his friends and family from the horrifying aftermath of PART ONE: LAREDO.
