Plot Overview

Aspiring cartoonist Angela wants nothing more than to have her cartoons featured in Timeless Magazine, but loses the opportunity thanks to a shameless art thief and an atrocious boss. She angrily doodles over their pictures in an issue of the magazine to vent her frustration, only to realize that those who have wronged her have started to die in mysterious ways, matching the exact content of Angela's drawings. This leaves her torn between going back home or taking up a job at Timeless, after her old friend offers to give her a promotion.
