Catalyst: Raigen Devereux, Annie Judge & the Birth of the Angel of Death

Detective Drake Kazmierczak comes to Strickfield hunting the Angel of Death, unaware his new police intern Raigen Devereux is the killer.

Drake leaves Erie City after the vigilante murders Annie Judge, the woman he once loved. His investigation points to Strickfield, where his uncle Jeffrey serves as police chief and warns him that locals do not discuss the Angel of Death. The case becomes personal before Drake realizes how closely his new partner is connected to the hundreds of punishments he wants to stop.

Four years earlier, nineteen-year-old Raigen investigated Annie, an advanced-math teacher at North Ridgeway High who used drugs, sex, and grades to prey on students. Missing teenager Michelle Bailey led Raigen to a hidden basement room, recorded abuse, and a conspiracy involving football player Jagger Nelson. The evidence could expose a predator; Raigen’s bloodlust demanded a more final judgment.

Rob Fields’s “Catalyst” is a Strickfield serial-killer origin story about vigilantism, police investigation, sexual predators, institutional failure, and the first collision between Drake and Raigen. The revised title names the characters and makes the episode’s place in the Angel of Death mythology immediately clear. Story by Rob Fields.
