When Sue Walters, detective with the Riverville Police Department, is reunited with an old college friend, Graeme McDiarmid, she has no idea the "adventure" that meeting will generate. Called to Riverville to help renovate a heritage home as a painter, Graeme doesn't realize the danger he brings to Sue. Kidnapped by their joint enemy, Sue is held captive as Graeme is released, released to find the ill-gotten treasure the man is certain has been hidden in the heritage home. Graeme joins forces with Sue's friends and her fellow officers to find and free her, while bringing their assailant to justice.
