Angel: Close to the Ground
Synopsis
Even if it takes an eternity, he will make amends....
MORTAL WEAKNESS
Greed. Fear. Anger. All, technically, human emotions. But Angel's a demon, not a saint, and he's not immune to human emotions. So when big-shot Hollywood studio head Jack Willitts offers him huge sums of cash in exchange for guarding his overprivileged daughter, Karinna, the Dark Avenger takes the gig. After all, as Cordy and Doyle point out eagerly - there's rent to pay. And Willitts can certainly foot the bill.
After accompanying Karinna to several trendy nightspots, Angel writes her off as a spoiled brat. Cordy thinks Angel's too personally involved in the case, but the situation is worse that they suspect. Karinna's in trouble and suddenly Angel and company are being pursued by an unidentifiable creature, bent of destroying everything between it and what it wants most in the world.
Before long, Angel finds himself trapped within a supernatural struggle for power, fame...and immortality.
