Buffy Summers has burned down the school gym, run off to Vegas, and filled her diary with tales of vampires and demons - her parents see no other choice than to have her committed to a mental institution for a nice long rest.

During her stay, Buffy finds she likes not having to slay vampires and demons night after night. But there's something sinister going on here as some of the doctors may not be what they appear.

Meanwhile, in England, Giles' use of witchcraft has stopped a young magician from destroying the Watchers' Council, but now, to prove himself worthy of the title Watcher, he must face the consequences of dabbling in the forbidden arts.

This graphic novel also includes Paul Lee's amusing Dawn adventure, in which the Slayer's baby sister is mistaken for the chosen One, and teams up with a demonic stuffed bear.
