After a freak accident on their way to celebratory drinks, she and her father walk away from a massive car crash surprisingly unscathed… but as Cindy navigates the days that follow, including the theft of Lifeboat, the sudden and suspicious lack of interest from the company that had been bent on acquiring it, and the uncanny deterioration of her father and the world around them, she becomes convinced they’re trapped inside some reality-bending danger… and mere pawns in a life-and-death game of corporate espionage. Presented in an extra-sized and ad-free prestige format with cardstock covers, each 40-page issue of HIGH STRANGENESS also includes a brand-new nonfiction special feature into the documented, real-life history behind each interlocking chapter.
