Its the third time in four years that racecar driver Maxxon finds himself involved in a murder case. Carlos was a friend, and hes determined to help authorities find the killer.

Kurt follows more clues in a bid to pinpoint why Carlos was killed and who should be blamed. He runs into a number of dead ends, but he continues asking questions and uncovering answers in his own unique ways. Against this backdrop, Kurt also has another mission: to win a race at the River Flats International Speedway.
