The day Chief of Police Simon Wolfe anxiously awaited arrives when Evie Madison returns to Beauchamp Island after a six-year absence. Unfortunately, Evie wants little to do with him on a personal level. He suspects she's hiding something - a secret so horrible she cannot confide in him, her trusted friend.

When an island resident is heinously murdered Simon enlists Evie's help with the investigation.

What trace evidence is left behind is virtually useless until they have a suspect.

As Simon and Evie become closer and the investigation progresses, he uncovers evidence which leads him to believe Evie is the killer.
