By Josiah Thomas Turner 
Directed by Braxton Rae

Ten years ago, following a botched case, the members of our favorite Saturday-morning-cartoon teenage-mystery-solving team went their separate ways. Now as crisis descends on Coolsville and one of their own is swept into the spotlight, accused of a heinous crime, the gang must reunite to solve one last mystery - But the question remains; Where is The Dog?

Runtime is 2 hours. There will be a ten minute intermission.
