CHILLING ADVENTURES PRESENTS… STRANGE SCIENCE (ONE SHOT)
Jinx Holliday’s loyal companion is her best friend, Danni Malloy. Wherever one goes, the other follows, even if it means embarking on a perilous journey through space and time. Danni is shocked when she receives a cryptic message from an old acquaintance, Dilton Doiley, informing her that his time machine has malfunctioned, causing them to land in a distorted version of Riverdale where everything is out of place. Danni takes it upon herself to rectify the situation and return them to their own time and place. Along the way, she may need to explain a few things to Jinx. STRANGE SCIENCE delves into Danni’s personal history, the intricacies of time travel, and the significance of staying true to oneself and what is important.
