A reporter interviews exorcist and anti-demon activist Naheem in the final 48 hours before the government is due to pass legislation that makes exorcisms illegal. Over the last decade or so, demons have taken hold in human society, chiefly by playing to racial fears. Many white people have voluntarily become vessels for demons in return for what they view as 'protection', so much so that entire towns have become demon enclaves. These are known as Helltowns.

Naheem initially became famous on YouTube for the exorcisms he posted, and later for his campaigning against demonic possession. He discusses his techniques and philosophy with the reporter, revealing that he usually only likes to perform exorcisms on people who were unwillingly, rather than voluntarily, taken by demons - though nowadays this accounts for only 1% of all possessions. Naheem also makes art with a much lighter tone than that of his videos. His spray-painted pieces reflect his vision of a world in which black children can safely play in the streets after dark.

The reporter follows Naheem through what initially seems like a typical day, but Naheem doesn't intend to perform a typical exorcism for the reporter. He takes him to the magical boundary of a Helltown, and there, Naheem exorcises the entire town after a lengthy battle that almost leaves him dead.

In the aftermath of the exorcism, the confused and angry white people of the enclave form a mob and come after Naheem. The reporter flees the scene and survives. Naheem stays, going down with not a weapon but instead a can of spray paint, acting as as his last living attempt to make art.
