I dunno. Maybe it sounds more than it is. Comments are very welcome.
The overall campaign is in brainstormer mode, hopefully it will shape up
as we play it.

This is what I had in mind...(This is mostly the first Episode)

A small sect of some kind(a bit like the one in Lord of Illusions).From the
beginning I made it a small secret society based in Europe but I lost the
Preacher/Strangeland USA feel.
Anyhow the sect is guided by an Avatar/Adept of some kind,who has summoned a
demon into a young boy. This Demon is an old former Adept or Avatar or
someone with alot of knowledge about the Occult. The Demon is allowed to
stay in the boy as long as he shares the information. To keep him happy the
sect provides for all his needs(Use your imagination).

A Dipsomancer named Sidney Fissel stole a book from the Sect(An ordinary
Diary). The book is named the '23 statements'(who contains occult knowledge
written down by the demon) and is in this case the Underground bestseller.

Sidney fled to Chicago to sell the book to a Duke known only in the
underground as the 'Man with three nipples'(Who probably will be a
Glutomancer). MWTN didn't wanna pay some low-life scum adept the money so he
sent some small-time legbreakers to get Sidney and the book for free. A
young woman saw the assault on Sidney and interfered but they did get away
with Sidney, but not his bag who, SURPRISE! contained the book.

The sect of course sent a real bad ass enforcers after Sidney(He is based on
Mel Gibson from a "Million Dollar Hotel"). 

Now the players becomes involved trying to find the Sidney and helping the
girl and finding out why a stiff-necked Mel Gibson type wants "The 23
Statements".

Of course there is a player in all this called...Alex Abel! He wants Sidney
Fissel more than the book as Sidney knows who wrote the Underground
Bestseller. 

The PC's had a run int with the M.G type in a trucker cafe which ended with
a family caught in a gas-station explosion triggered by a BOHICA using a
firearm.

They also played Russion roulette with MWTN enforcers and forced a
goth-satanist-punker ex boyfriend to listen to country while he was dancing.

The PC's join forces with NI(Just to get away from authorities) and will
confront the MWTN in next episode...All dressed up in yellow raincoats and
facial masks.

The ideas I had for the future is that together with Sidney(if he is still
alive) they will begin a road trip to Where-ever-the-sect-is-located and of
course there will be loads of bizare stuff happening on the way.
