The basic premise is this: The mysterious city of Bete Noire is your ordinary american city by day, but by night it fills to the brim with evil. Mainly small time thieves and such, but often much more.
Our main character Lee, or “Fallen Angel” as her bar-man Dolf named her, is I guess what you’d get if you crossed Batman with Veronica Mars. People come to her and ask for help, and if she thinks you deserve her help, she will. She is still a Super-Hero after all, so she does have her
