There’s only one problem – the host was seen by hundreds of thousands of people on live television during the exact time the murder occurred elsewhere.

FOOD TRUCK – When the well-known owner of a beloved Santa Barbara food truck is mysteriously murdered, Shawn and Gus, fans of delicious flavor, are determined to solve the crime as only they can.
