A young child is kidnapped, the ransom paid but the child is not returned home. If the army could help, they would, but they have their hands full assisting folks to save themselves from the devastating floods taking place across the Fraser valley.

Syd Malloy, Private Investigator, together with his longtime pal, Detective Al Simms with the Vancouver Police Force, find themselves searching for the girl, all because clairvoyant, Gemma Price is certain Malloy is the one to find her before it's too late.

With the waters rising, there's an undercurrent of fear circling Malloy and his would-be rescuers, pulling them deeper into the disappearance, and into each other's lives.
How can they possibly succeed? Only time will tell.
