Twelve-year-old Logan Michaud is devastated when his father, a former star in the Canadian Junior Hockey League, is killed in a tragic car accident. Logan and his mom move to West Bend, Illinois to be closer to his grandparents and he hopes to make a fresh start with a new school and a new hockey team. Then there's the matter of the suspicious goings-on at a nearby auto repair shop. Why are shady looking guys dropping off expensive sports cars in the middle of the night, he wonders? With his faithful dog, Joker, by his side, Logan plays detective and tries to solve the mystery in his neighborhood as he struggles to find a way to continue playing the sport he loves so much.
