Caine and Serenity Johnson, the blind preacher last seen in Dark Angel, look for a killer that is stalking Serenity's town of Nineveh.

We return to Caine's past in China. Caine witnesses a man defeat six others in the village. The man instructs Caine to deliver a challenge. He demands a fight to the death with Master Kan or he will kill a villager every day until he gets it.
