On a hot summer’s day in 1989, a father and son travelling through Stockton, California, discover a VHS tape left by the side of a road. When they take it home and decide to watch it, they make a disturbing discovery. The tape contains footage of a house burning to the ground and was apparently filmed by the arsonist who lit the fire.
When investigators looking into the tape hit a series of dead ends, they enlist the help of popular television series
Unsolved Mysteries, and the case becomes known as that of the infamous Stockton Arsonist.
