Angel left Sunnydale believing penance was a solitary road, a burden he alone was meant to shoulder. But Los Angeles has a way of unmasking people, and in its sprawl he finds others – broken, brilliant, stubborn souls – drawn into his orbit. Together they learn that redemption isn’t a destination but a living, shifting pursuit, shaped by every choice they make. In this city of second chances and dangerous reinventions, each of them arrives searching for purpose, running from ghosts, or trying to rewrite the story of who they are. And in fighting the darkness around them, they discover the harder battle is the one within.
