A thief's corpse is found at a local auto repair shop, followed by the murder of the people who worked there. As Shepherd unravels the case, he realizes that the real crime may not be anything as pedestrian as theft.

The vibrant Riverstone Beach Hop festival, a haven for classic car enthusiasts, takes a deadly turn when Charlie Baxter, the esteemed Chairman of the Classic Car Restoration Society, is found lifeless beside his prized El Dorado, with gasoline in his lungs. The question lingers: was it a tragic accident involving fuel siphoning or a more sinister act? The mystery deepens with the revelation of an unidentified body discovered in Charlie's garage just a day prior. Meanwhile, suspicion falls on Greg McQueen, Jared's friend, who has rolled into town in a flashy hot rod dubbed "The Killing Machine," with Jared's ex-girlfriend by his side, raising questions about their involvement in Charlie's demise.
