Synopsis:

Chaplain Charlie Graham gathers those Human Defense Corps personnel who have been dreaming of the men thought killed by hostile species NHH-014 along with some of the dead men's relatives for a seance. They discover that the men are definitely not dead, and are being held by the demonic beings. A captured demon tells them that this is in order for his clan to gain power - living souls are worth so much more in hell than dead ones. The Human Defense Corps goes to war, invading hell to get their people back.
