Danny Ketch has become the new Ghost Rider, bound to a supernatural mission he barely understands: return Lucifer to Hell after the previous Ghost Rider’s actions allowed him to escape. As Danny follows Lucifer’s trail, he discovers that the only person who may know how to stop him is Johnny Blaze, the former Ghost Rider, who is trapped in Hell. Johnny reveals that the angel Malachi has promised him freedom if he helps return Lucifer to Hell. With no other way out, Johnny agrees to help Danny, and the two Ghost Riders begin a dangerous journey through the worlds of the living and the dead.
Their search brings them into conflict with demons and eventually Doctor Strange, who becomes involved when a far greater supernatural threat emerges: the demon Kazan. Danny and Johnny manage to defeat Kazan, but Johnny soon discovers that Malachi never intended to honor their agreement. The angel needed Johnny’s connection to Hell to manipulate the barriers between dimensions and free Kazan. Realizing he has been deceived, Johnny turns against Malachi, defeats him and imprisons him in Hell. Lucifer is finally returned to Hell, while Johnny remains stuck and Danny continues to be Ghost Rider.
