Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar) just wants to be a normal teenager. After the death of her first Watcher back in Los Angeles, she is hoping the move to Sunnydale will give her and her mother a new start. But once she meets school librarian Rupert Giles, she realises there is no escaping her destiny – especially since her new high school sits right over the Hellmouth. So with Giles as her new Watcher, she reluctantly steps back in to her role as the Slayer. But this time she is not fighting alone; for at her side stands an inner circle of friends, Willow, Xander, Cordelia, and a mysterious young man named Angel, all willing to come to her aid and help dust a vamp or two.
