Ex-chef and now fully dedicated vanlifer, Max Effort picked the perfect spot for a relaxing few days. A quiet campsite where he could unwind with his best friend Anxious the Jack Russell.

When his parents arrived to spend a few days with him, he wasn't surprised to find them towing a huge monstrosity they called a "caravan"—think flamingo pink with enough chrome to blind astronauts.

Even more shocking was the stewed corpse of a man inside their rental.

With Max's vanlife intertwined with helping out the local communities, he teams up with his folks to solve the mystery.

Anxious sniffs out the suspects, but the gang struggles to crack the case. When another corpse is discovered, all Max's theories are thrown out like last week's congealed leftovers.

Determined to stick to his pledge of cooking every evening meal in his cast-iron pot, Max needs all the sustenance he can muster when the team find themselves in one predicament after another. With a campsite full of suspects, and the restaurant across the road clearly up to something, stress levels soar as fear spreads faster than a case of botulism at a barbecue.

Will the macabre murderer be discovered, or will the gang become minced meat?
