Gabriel returns from hell to Earth to prevent the birth of a child, anephilim , the offspring of one of his kind and one of God's "monkeys" (Humans). The coming of this child, said to precede reconciliation between the warring factions in heaven, has been prophecised by a monk, Thomas Daggett — the former detective from the first film in the series. The child's conception takes place when Valerie, a nurse, is seduced by an attractive stranger (theangel Danyael) who she hit with her car. She finds a few days later that she is in advanced pregnancy.Gabriel attempts to find the whereabouts of the child from Daggett, but kills him when he refuses to help. When Danyael kills members of Gabriel's army of angels, Gabriel instead employs the assistance of a teenage girl (Izzy) who has just committed suicide. Gabriel keeps her alive to help him in his search for Valerie (despite his powers as an angel, he is completely naive about technology, and is unable to drive a car or work a computer).
Gabriel's war against Danyael and the other angels climaxes in a battle in Eden, now an industrial wasteland. Danyael is killed, but Valerie defeats Gabriel by seizing him and jumping from a building, confident that God will protect her; she is indeed unharmed, but Gabriel is impaled on a spike. As punishment, Gabriel is turned into a human by Michael. Valerie raises the child by herself, accepting the risk that the angels may come for him. The film ends with Gabriel as a derelict; a face in the sky and ominous clouds show that the war in heaven is not over.
