A heartbreaking find amid secrets and lies.

The last journey of the season on the Mary B should have been short and sweet as the crew look forward to the summer break, until the body of Emma's friend, Hilda, is found in the woodpile and her children alone at their shack.

Taking the children with them is the only option, but where is their father? Emma is determined to take care of what her friend left behind but while even the dead have secrets as she quickly discovers, it's dealing with the secrets of the living that's putting her on edge.

Tempers on board fray amidst suspicious accidents and falling river levels, and there's tension among the crew. Emma is trying to get answers, concerned about the children's future as well as the death of their mother, while Daniel is losing patience with the situation and with Emma. Are they all just tired of one another's company? Or is something more going on?

When Emma's concern for the children finally brings her face to face with Hilda's killer, has her understanding of the secret they are keeping come too late?
