A festival of music, mushrooms, and murder. Two detectives who couldn’t be more out of place—or out of sync.

The last thing Detectives Flynt and Steele expected when they were sent to a sun-soaked California music festival was to investigate a brutal murder. But when a vendor is found stabbed in the back amidst the swirling crowd of festival-goers, it’s clear that something far darker is happening beneath the haze of peace, love, and rock ‘n’ roll. The vendor wasn’t just any festival regular—he had deep ties to a local polygamist community, where multiple wives may hold secrets as twisted as the murder itself.

Flynt, with his love for all things eccentric, blends right into the wild world of dreadlocks, tie-dye, and jam sessions. Steele, on the other hand, feels like a fish out of water, growing more frustrated with every passing minute. As they navigate the chaotic festival scene—and the complicated web of polygamist relationships—their differences become even more pronounced. While Flynt relishes the weirdness, Steele fights to keep his cool amidst the sea of stoned suspects, cryptic clues, and a tangle of jealous wives who may be more involved than they let on.

But as they unravel the mystery behind the knife in the vendor’s back, the detectives realize the case is more twisted than it seems. The peace-and-love vibe masks a killer’s true intentions, and Flynt and Steele are once again pushed to their limits—both by the investigation and each other.
