The mission: Your story in Vancouver, BC
A record store on the Island could bring in big bucks, but you know the shop needs a centrepiece, something no-one else has: the rumored one-of-one LP from reclusive avant-garde superstar Grant Marin, hidden on the island where he worked before his big break.
Follow clues from Marin's songs and notes to get that LP before anyone else!
