Our story is about a town, a small town, and the people who live in the town.

From a distance, it presents itself like so many other small towns all over the world.

Safe.

Decent.

Innocent.

Get closer, though, and you start seeing the shadows underneath.

The name of our town is Riverdale.

And our story begins, I guess, with what the Blossom twins did this summer.

On the Fourth of July, just after dawn, Jason and Cheryl Blossom drove out to Sweetwater River for an early morning boat ride.
The next thing we know happened for sure is that Dilton Doiley, who was leading Riverdale's Boy Scout Troop on a bird watching expedition, came upon Cheryl by the river's edge.The Riverdale Police dragged Sweetwater River for Jason's body, but never found it.
