Angela looks like a little girl but is an immortal who longs to die so her soul can reach the afterlife. Her partner is Meg, a 17 year old Anglican nun who has holes in her memory. Angela is very close to Meg and says that she can live only as long as Meg needs her.

The two together belong to a mysterious organization whose mission it is to hunt demons. Creatures that possess humans as well as prey on both humanity's corruption and innocence. What sacrifices will be called upon humanity for this war? Can this war versus demons even be won?
