Xander DeWitt (Jace Norman) is an inquisitive teenager with a knack for solving mysteries. His sleuthing skills get put to the test when his dad Russell (Rick Peters) leaves for work one day and vanishes without a trace. Frustrated by his attempts to find his dad with the latest one getting him in trouble with the police, Xander’s mom Ellen (Terryn Westbrook) sends him to go live with his grandfather (Ed Begley Jr.), a retired private investigator.  It’s in his dad’s hometown that Xander finds a surprising lead in the case and builds an unexpected partnership with Kenzie Messina (Ariel Martin), an investigative reporter for the school newspaper.
