Synopsis for "The Demon: Hell Is Earth, Part One"

Jason Blood has experienced recurring nightmares of a young girl being immolated by Etrigan, dreams which the latter relishes in and taunts him over to the point of Jason drinking heavily for solace. They have been drawn to a lonely expanse of Death Valley in search of answers, with their long-time ally Xanadu slowly closing in on the same location. Unbeknownst to either, the girl they had seen is real and has been vexed by the same nightmare. At her behest, her family travels to the Valley for a vacation, just in time to witness a nuclear missile striking it by the order of a military general under the sway of a demon.

Jason releases Etrigan so that they may survive the fallout, while the girl is hunted by her now demonically-transformed family. When she crosses paths with Etrigan, he is stayed from bringing their shared nightmare to fruition by the appearance of Jason in a incorporeal form -- a new occurrence. Though satisfied to turn to tables on Etrigan for once, Jason concludes that this new power is likely a sign of great trouble to come.
