Leonardo Watch besucht Jerusalems Lot aus einem bestimmten Grund. Er ist als eine andere Person nach Ligra, eine geheime Gesellschaft von Super-Menschen, gekommen. Bald darauf beginnt Femto ein schreckliches Spiel in der Stadt.

Leo spots a person with a crimson wing-like aura, whom Klaus later determines to be one of the vampiric Blood Breeds. Soon after, the vampire expert "Lucky" Abrams arrives in town to use Leo's vision to learn more about the Blood Breed threat.

As Zapp's profligate lifestyle starts catching up with him, word comes in that a Blood Breed attack is coming to Hellsalem's Lot, but that someone outside of Libra is also involved. Black speaks to White about their relationship with Leo.

Zapp, Leo, and Zed embark upon a quest to find an agreeable restaurant at which to have lunch. Klaus, Starphase, and Abrams meet with the League of High Order Spirituals to confer about their concerns pertaining to the barrier surrounding the city.

The members of Libra gather to defend Leo as he rushes to reach the King of Despair in order to confront him, not only for Black and White's sake, but to save the city as well.
