The origins of Judge Sydney, a judge of disturbing past who goes to quite an extreme length, even for a judge, to get the sentence he wants.
After a botched drug bust, judge Sydney is mortally wounded and falls to his death. However, what happens next changes him forever - in the worst way imaginable.
A hellish abomination eradicates the drug dealing Angel Gang - and everyone else in sight. Judge Dredd arrives at the crime scene, but then his attention gets preoccupied with a report concerning an unresolved family matter.
Judge Dredd is on the look for escapee Rico who's in a diner seeing his little daughter Vienna. However, something else is about to visit the diner - for some meat.
Judge Dredd faces the hellish creature for the first time and things don't go well. The creature intends to consume the naive, cheerful and completely oblivious Vienna, but her loose baby tooth awakens something unexpected in him.
Judge Dredd must save his niece Vienna before the creature tests her and takes her to its world. But can Dredd survive a clash with the demonic ghoul of death?
