Just one year later, Margaret is coming into her own as an investigator, after leaving the comforts of her Kerrisdale home and her inattentive husband, a corporate lawyer. Living in trendy and bustling Kitsilano with Nat Southby, her newfound happiness is undercut by her family's pleadings to return home.

Instead of solace, they find violence, betrayal and an unsolved missing person's case that introduces them to host of new and questionable characters. **
