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.
