Summary
Jughead Jones dropped out of high school the summer before his junior year, to get his GED and a brand-new serpent tattoo. From Prince of Darkness to King of Snakes, he put all his thought into the restoration, preservation, and protection of his gang.
The Serpents rebuild under new reign. Jughead learns to balance the darkness inside himself, and in the town of Riverdale, to give his people their lives back. The battle against the powers that were, the likes of maple mongols and vindictive ghosts and Hiram Lodge, it took its toll. Prices were paid, people were lost. Things were done that changed the fates of those involved, things that can never be walked back.
Now, after a period of comparative quiet, Veronica Lodge comes home after seven years away from the town with pep. Her return cuts at old wounds, and while there is relief in reunion, the Serpents once again find themselves facing a threat.
No longer kids caught in the middle, Jughead, Betty, Archie, Veronica, and Cheryl must learn to face the music they’ve orchestrated through their own actions.
