A teenage girl is imprisoned by her former boyfriend in a motel room and forced to consume drugs and alcohol so she can be sold into human trafficking. Her only hope is her mother, who is determined to rescue her.
Set in the present, the series offers a bold, subversive take on Archie, Betty, Veronica and their friends, exploring the surreality of small-town life, the darkness and weirdness bubbling beneath Riverdale’s wholesome facade.
