The vampire Angel, cursed with a soul, moves to Los Angeles and aids people with supernatural-related problems while questing for his own redemption. A spin-off from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Alex, Carrie and Andy, a group of middle of the road, Hollywood wannabes, spend their time waiting for their number to come up in a town that's full of rejection. While Carrie is trying to get a record deal through intimate relations and Andy endures humiliating auditions on his way to being a mega star, It's the new comer, Alex, who tries to make sense out of this place by writing his first screenplay.
