Now I will explain the hellbound Netflix series episode by episode.
Episode 1:
So episode one starts from the inside view of a cafe where a person was sitting all alone and was looking at his phone for checking time again and again. When it was 1.20pm that person suddenly looked nervous and scared. That's when a BOOM sound could be heard in the background. And all of a sudden 3 Giant monsters ( Looked like Black Hard Smoke) appeared and started beating that person. That person started running on the road but it was too late for him to save his life and those monsters killed him mercilessly in the middle of the road in front of everyone and burned him.
And the next moment they disappeared in the air and only the burned skeleton and ashes were left of that person.
Now the scene shifts from here to the police station. All the officers were looking into this case and Jin Kyung-hoon gets this case solve. He goes to the crime scene and sees that a Cult Called The New Truth is doing some kind of awareness event next to the crime scene. He attends the event and listens to its chairman Jeong Jin-soo. He was speaking about the Hellbound and other people who got killed by those hell angels. According to him, all these people who died were sinners and they committed sins that's why God is punishing them. To escape from this tragic death there is only one way, and that is to live a rightful life without committing any sins.
After the event, Detective Jin Kyung-hoon starts talking with Jeong Jin-soo. While talking he notices his daughter Jin Hee-Jeong( she is one of the followers of The New Truth Cult). Jin Kyung-hoon gets angry and sends her back home. And he starts asking questions about The new truth cult and Jeong Jin-soo gives all questions answers with a calm mind. In the end, Jin Kyung-hoon says God should understand human free will and should not create problems like this in the human world. On this Jeong, Jin-soo brings Jin Kyung-hoon’s wife's murder case that how she was murdered by a drug addict and was set free after 6 years. The criminal was free but the family was still in pain of that death. The human laws don't do justice that's why God is taking actions to teach the humans to live a rightful life.
While all of this happening a new cult ( Followers of The New Truth) Named ArrowHead was gaining a lot of recognition from people. A live streamer hiding his identity and screaming in front of the camera was supporting the new truth and Jeong Jin-soo and also raising awareness about the new truth. This cult has mostly teenagers. They were very violent and cruel. In the name of god they only know killing and hurting other human beings. They created a lot of problems for police and police couldn't even arrest them as they were minors.
Episode 2:

For some shock, she agrees to his condition and after that, she meets Min Hye-jin a lawyer and seeks help to transfer all the money to her account and help her children.

All the followers of the new truth cult were already standing to meet Jeong Jin-soo.
