Plot

Devon (Camille Ramsey) and Missy (Tatsumi Romano) are best friends and college roommates who crack cold cases on their successful true-crime podcast.[4] [5] Their lives quickly turn upside down when their best friend disappears without a trace, leaving the two true-crime podcasters responsible for solving their most important case yet.[6]

Production

The series was written by Riverdale writer Tessa Leigh Williams[7] [8] and won the 2019 Writers Guild of America (WGA) award for Best Original Short Form New Media.[9] The entire series was filmed and edited vertically, as a way of introducing a new method of viewing streaming content.[10] [11] The series is among a list of shows branded as Snap Originals[12] and was the company's introduction to TV-like programming.[13] [14] Additionally, viewers are able to interact with the series through augmented reality features such as Show Portals,[15] which allow viewers to enter Missy and Devon's dorm room and explore the premises.[16] [17]
