It is the 1990s. An explosion at the local sawmill devastates a small town in British Columbia's Southern Interior. Ruthless octogenarian Vivian Lennox fights her deteriorating mind as she defends the catastrophic decisions she made decades earlier. Armed only with her curiosity, 10-year-old Elena Reid is dangerously unaware of who or what she is about to expose as she searches for answers to her father's disappearance. Corruption connects the tales of two protagonists whose worlds are irreparably damaged.
