Buffy is back.

There is something coming back to life in Sunnydale, bigger than it ever was before: Sunnydale High.

Dawn experiences some very strange things on her first day in Sunnydale High - she sees dead people. Dead people with an attitude... Buffy doesn't trust the peace at the newly rebuilt highschool and when people disappear into the basement, she has her proof. The hellmouth is back in a big way and so is Spike. Not soul-less anymore, but very much insane. He hears voices... or was that real?

Meanwhile in England, Willow tries to find her old self again with the help of the coven which gave Giles his powers in "Grave".

She learns a lot, but is still unsure of her place in all this. But the hellmouth calls and Willow is sure... "It will swallow us all."
