A special organization called the Order of Magdalene was created centuries ago to deal with this kind of threat. Headed by Father Remington and Sister Kate, these young men and women were equipped with heavy duty weapons to perform God's good will.

One of the more infamous members of this group is Sister Rosette. Her fame is not necessarily positive.

It also does not help that Rosette's partner is one of the very things they fight against, a very powerful devil named Chrono. Bound to Rosette by a mystical amulet, Chrono may be under control, but that does not make him any less dangerous.

While Rosette and Chrono fight for the Magdalene Order, something is stirring in the background. An evil, more powerful than Chrono, is waiting in the shadows, ready to destroy not only the Order, but all of creation!
