Rin Okumura, a sharp and reckless teenager, is the illegitimate son of Satan and human woman. Upon discovering his true lineage, Rin decides to become an exorcist in order to defeat his own father and prevent him from bringing about the apocalypse.

Despite being raised by his adoptive father and priest, Shiro Fujimoto, Rin had been plagued by a sense of otherness and a recurring dream that featured his birth father. When he finally unleashed his demonic flames, Rin was confronted by his own identity and the knowledge that he was viewed as a monster by the people around him.
As the story shifts back to the present day, Rin and his friends prepare to face off against Satan himself, who has manifested in the human world and plans to use Rin's body as a vessel.

The stranger is soon revealed to be a member of the Illuminati, a group that is seeking to bring about the end of the world and believes that Rin is the key to their success.
Despite this setback, Rin and his comrades continue to press forward, battling demons and confronting their own fears and doubts. Meanwhile, Rin's twin brother Yukio grapples with his own inner turmoil as he struggles to reconcile his role as an exorcist with his feelings of jealousy and inadequacy towards his demon-powered sibling.
