Since he arrived in Los Angeles. Angel's mission has always been to help the helpless and to save countless innocent lives in the city of Los Angeles, however there was one that escaped his gasp: Doyle, the hard-drinking, easy-living half-demon who came to see Angel on a vision quest. Doyle sacrificed himself to save others, leaving Angel (with Cordelia an, ultimately, a new cadre) to carry on to save the helpless and to fight the good fight.

But as the group squares of against an evil, little do they know that back in Sunnydale trouble is brewing as always. A shakedown of snitches: Someone other than Buffy has been slaying- and whoever it is, is strictly after half-breeds, going so far is to hide and lie in wait to attack. It dosen't add up, and the Scoobies are stumped.

Back in L.A. the picture becomes more clearer when Angel is visited by an unexpected guest. Axtius, Doyle's father, a Brachen demon who has come to see his son to give him a gift: Daddy was going to rid Doyle of his human side becoming a pure Brachen demon. A matter of fact Axtius was going to rid the world of half-breeds. He's not happy to learn that his son Doyle is gone, and blames Angel for his son's Death, but Axtius hasn't got time to point fingers, he's found out the location of a bunch of half-breeds. Before long Buffy and the rest of the Scoobies have assembled right alongside Angel and Co. Both slayer and Vampire have skirted the boundaries of humanity, but neither can support a massacre. A crime against monsters is a crime nonetheless
