Marty Simcoe wasn't frightened by the nightmare because it was a rerun - one in a series about a bank robbery and mass murder. As far as he knew, he had committed the bank robbery with his confederates. He had seen them all killed in a dispute over the sharing of the loot. He buried the other five, one by one. He dreamed of doing all this at some time in the past but he didn't know when. After all, he was only 19 years old now. But, then, the bodies buried in the shallow graves by the river are found. Everything Marty dreamed is coming true.
Inspector Bailey Howard had been doing well in the Toronto Police Homicide Unit. But, now, she gets the job of heading the investigation into the finding of five bodies in shallow graves. She finds it's a case with ties to a major bank robbery and to some police officers who were on the job when the bodies were buried. She also finds it's a case that might be solved only if she and Marty admit that reincarnation is real.
