His sleuthing skills get put to the test when his dad Russell (Rick Peters) leaves for work one day and vanishes without a trace. Frustrated by his attempts to find his dad – with the latest one getting him in trouble with the police – Xander’s mom Ellen (Terryn Westbrook) sends him to go live with his grandfather Charlie (Ed Begley Jr.), a retired private investigator in his dad’s hometown, Bixler Valley. During his stay, Xander finds a surprising lead in the case and teams up with a school newspaper reporter and classmate, Kenzie Messina (Ariel Martin).
