San Junipero is a party town, and Kelly is determined to wring every bit of enjoyment she can out of it. Yet she's drawn to Yorkie, a shy, retiring gal who has her life planned out for her. The ladies form an instant connection. Yet Kelly is a glowing ember, and Yorkie fears getting too close, in case she gets burned.
Black Mirror is a British Sci-Fi TV series. The anthology format lets the showrunners explore a wide variety of stories. After producing a graphic novel adaptation of USS Callister, Twisted Comics is walking back in time from the fourth series to produce the third season story, "San Junipero."
Kelly and Yorkie's story begins in 1987, as US President Ronald Reagan urges Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev to groove to Pink Floyd and tear down the Berlin Wall. Will Yorkie follow through on her carefully made plans? And will Kelly decide there's more to life than the freedom of Saturday nights?

San Junipero is a party town. All is up for grabs. And midnight is two hours away…
The year is 1987. Tucker’s nightclub is aglow with neon, the music is loud, and people are dancing. The shy Yorkie meets Kelly and plays along with her rejection of Wes, who has been making continued advances to her. The two dance. An offer of how to spend the rest of their evening is made, then declined, and Yorkie and Kelly go their separate ways. Until...
Another week. Another vibe. Another decade. On and on their journey goes, across time, across soundtracks - their intertwined lives in these clubs is just the beginning.
