The Auto Boys' Vacation

Four spirited friends set off on what should be a carefree holiday, but the quiet roads of the South Fork quickly turn mysterious. A sudden loss—a prized automobile gone missing and a beloved dog found dead—draws them into a web of suspicion that even the local sheriff seems unwilling to untangle. Determined to uncover the truth, they rally together, each taking on a piece of the puzzle while the summer heat bears down on the dusty highway.

Their investigation leads them to a solemn task: burying the dog in a hidden knoll, a moment that binds the boys with quiet reverence and a promise to remember. As they press on toward the nearby town of Ferndale, the landscape—old mill ponds, towering willows, and empty icehouses—mirrors the eerie stillness of their quest. With friendship as their compass, they prepare to follow every clue, hoping the next call on the telephone will finally break the silence.
