Set five years after Annie's adoption by Oliver Warbucks in post-modern New York City , the podcast features characters from the beloved musical, including Miss Hannigan (Laura Benanti), Daddy Warbucks (Lance Reddick), Drake (Alan Ruck), and of course, Annie (Abbie-Grace Levi). The new story begins on the eve of Warbucks' launch of a momentous new business. Annie, now 15, and her orphan friends must solve a shocking mystery that threatens to cripple Warbucks Industries. Is the mystery connected to the release from prison of Annie's old nemesis, Agatha Hannigan? Or is it even connected to Annie's past...and a second locket found near her parents' grave?
