Robbed of his supernatural healing properties, will Angel still be hero enough to save his friends? The staff at Angel Investigation are well-versed in the nuances of demon-fighting. So they're surprised to find themselves euphorically giddy after a long night of...what? Their clothes are bloody and torn and their bodies are battered, but their memories of how they got that way are the evening's most notable casualties. Research determines that they've been doused with a kind of demon pixie dust, known as Fearless, that has helped them heal. Angel, however, is having the opposite post-battle experience. After years of superhuman healing, he's suddenly recovering from a fight with all the resilience -- or lack thereof -- of an average human being. Shaken and reluctant to confide in his friends, Angel is reduced to secret-keeping and collaboration with newfound demon cohorts. If his friends go in search of their next dose of Fearless, will Angel be strong enough to protect them?
A new sect of demons is after one innocent human, while an imposter is taking on Angel's role and setting up shop in his place. An otherwise peaceful day at Angel Investigations is disrupted by the sudden arrival of a desperate young man with a demon at his heels. When the team destroy the monster it decomposes on the spot, leaving them no clues as to either its identity or its agenda. Nor is the young man much help -- he has already been the victim of a stolen identity scam in which someone pretending to be Angel has left him with a deep suspicion of the real thing. The ancient stone he possesses could hold some answers, but he's none too keen on handing it over for strangers to examine. Meanwhile Lorne reports a seriously bad feeling emanating from Caritas -- normally a haven where demons of all persuasions can relax -- and Angel is increasingly disturbed that someone else has borrowed his persona for purposes unknown. As things become ever weirder, is it just random chaos or is everything connected? And will the real Angel please stand up...?
