Something icky is brewing, as usual, in Sunnydale. This time it's in the form of two clean-cut, prep school-type boys. Buffy's suspicious from the start - their fashion statement is so old it's dead, and it seems they have a slightly unnatural attachment to their mother.
But then, almost everything about these boys is unnatural - they're vampires. Not ordinary vampires, either - they are descendants of a clan known for its ability to summon powerful occult forces. And when the Slayer dusts this dynamic duo, she learns what you get when you mess with a vamp family tree. Now it's up to Buffy to battle her personal demons - or risk endangering her own most cherished relation. Because mama vamp has something in mind for Joyce . . .
