It’s a pretty simple premise. Three strangers — all music fans — are selected to team up for an epic search of Los Angeles (home to the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards) for clues that will reveal clues that will reveal … more clues. Where will it lead? There’s only one way to find out: Stay with it until the very end. And that, friends, is Shotgun.
