As they investigate the shooting, they discover that Glen and his friends were involved in a game called "Street Challenge," where young men compete to see who can steal the most valuable item in a single night. The item that Glen and his friends were trying to steal was a gun, which they planned to use to intimidate their rivals.
The discovery of the gun leads Tom and Maggie to a local gun dealer named Teddy, who is known for selling weapons to anyone who has the cash. As they dig deeper into Teddy's background, they learn that he is a former convict who has been involved in illegal gun sales before.
