What's the Story?

HENRY DANGER: THE MOVIE picks up where the series left off. Henry (Jace Norman) and Jasper (Sean Ryan Fox) have new crime-fighting identities, but Jasper is uncomfortable always being in the shadow of his friend, so their partnership dissolves. When a supervillain threatens Henry, things seem bleak until a superfan, Missy (Glee Dango), teleports him to help her town. While Henry isn't happy to have another sidekick, Missy is thrilled. They soon discover that the reality-altering device Missy used to make her dreams come true has also turned her fan fiction into reality. Now, they are trapped in a multiverse of stories and villains that only Missy and Kid Danger can defeat—together.
