The Wild West has gone to Hell, literally, and the world's best hope of being saved lies in the gun-slinging hands of Sheriff Roy Pulsipher (Jeffrey Donovan) as he becomes the newest officer for the Rest In Peace Department (R.I.P.D.) enforcing the afterlife's laws. If the Old West was wild while he was alive, wait until Roy sees how weird it gets once he dies. Roy thought joining the R.I.P.D. would give him a chance to revisit his daughter and solve the mystery of his murder.
Instead, he has his holsters full with havoc and hellfire when he's given a mission to stop a dangerous demon from opening a portal to the underworld. The fate of the living and the dead now depends on Roy and his partner Jeanne (Penelope Mitchell), a mysterious swordswoman, as cowboys clash with creatures and undead insanity unleashes apocalyptic chaos.

This sequel was largely developed and filmed in secret, with news outlets only picking it up in recent months due to public release of a PG-13 rating.
The previous movie was met with a lot of negative reviews from fans and critics and was considered a box office bomb, having only grossed a reported $78 million on an estimated budget of $130-$150 million.
This is a straight-to-video prequel to the 2013 film R.I.P.D., which starred Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds.
