Plot Synopsis

Fate ordained that in every generation there is a slayer and that she alone will stand against the demons and the forces of darkness. However, plucky high-school-student Buffy Summers was never one to play by the rules, much less the rules ordained by some old prophecy. Together with her watcher Rupert Giles, her faithful friend Xander Harris, and future Wiccan Willow Rosenberg, Buffy must fend off the forces of sunny California's hellmouth -- time and time again. From vampires to hell gods to the First Evil itself, Buffy must first survive the most harrowing evil of all: high school. A touchingly human tale, BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER is not just about kicking evil's ass and taking names, it's about navigating through the hardships of love, loss and life. And at its core, Buffy is a true parable of empowerment for the outcast in all of us.
