In a heartbreaking turn of events, Kenny's pride and joy is stolen right off the streets of Van Nuys. This theft devastates Kenny, leaving him feeling powerless and distraught over the loss of his beloved car.

Determined not to let the theft go unpunished, Kenny embarks on a journey to Las Vegas in search of his stolen Corvette. This trip represents a pivotal moment, marking the beginning of an adventure filled with challenges and self-discovery.

During his trek, Kenny encounters Vanessa, a spirited drifter with a surprising sense of humor. She introduces herself as a 'prostitute trainee,' and their chemistry adds an unexpected twist to Kenny’s mission.

Kenny finds temporary work at a local car wash, hoping to gather information about his stolen car while earning some income. It is here that he repeatedly spots his Corvette, but his attempts to report it are thwarted by a forged tag.

Kenny dedicates himself to tracking down the car's thief, Wayne Lowry, who operates out of a shabby garage. This pursuit leads to a tense confrontation that shakes Kenny, causing him to question his next steps.

Amid the chaos, Kenny's world is rocked when his high school teacher Ed McGrath reveals himself as the mastermind behind the car theft. This shocking revelation crushes Kenny’s respect for McGrath, igniting feelings of betrayal and anger.

Fueled by his sense of betrayal, Kenny begins to plot his revenge against both McGrath and Lowry. His newfound resolve leads him to strategize an audacious plan to reclaim his beloved Corvette.
