Description: A bully, Bosco Blodget, sabotages a dam the Windwalkers, Chris, Nick, Donny and their friends have built to make a swimming lake. When a rifle shot knocks an energy drink can out of Donny?s hand, the Windwalkers suspect it?s a threat by Bosco to abandon the dam. An unlikely new friend, Billy Brogan, offers to camp by the dam to guard it. When Bosco returns late at night in his dune buggy, knife in hand, preparing to sabotage the dam again, Billy sneaks into his dune buggy and drives it off, ditching it miles away, leaving Bosco naked by the lake yelling after him. After that night, Bosco is not seen again and is later is found buried in the sand by the lake with a rifle bullet through his head. The Sheriff suspects Chris because his red bandana is found in the abandoned dune buggy. The challenge for Chris, Nick, and Donny is to unravel this mystery and find the real assassin before the Sheriff arrests Chris for the murder of Bosco Blodget.
