When the president is attacked by a man under the influence of a powerful synthetic drug called Angel Scale, Klaus and K.K. travel to the alterworld to challenge a Beyondian big wheel to a game of Prosfair in order to uncover the source of the drug.

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.

Aligura, the Queen of Monomania, is on the hunt to find her creation, Brody & Hummer, and her monster truck is tearing up anything that gets in her way! Meanwhile, Femt and the King of Despair make some secret plans of their own.

While out buying lunch for Zapp and himself, Leo befriends a mushroom-like Beyondian named Nej, who has a craving for hamburgers, but is unable to buy them from the segregated 42nd Street quarter where they are sold.

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.

While a crowd looks on, an airplane attempting to fly into Hellsalem's Lot carries Jugei's junior pupil--and the top half of the Blood Breed Libra was fighting! The King of Despair continues setting his plan in motion. The Libra team gains a new member.

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.

Growing up on their parents' ranch, White struggles with being the only member of her family without the gift of psychic abilities, while Black is reluctant to stick up for himself and develop his own powers to their fullest.

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.
