It's 1852...
A man driven by the thirst for revenge. His goal – destroy the Kane family.
After a 15-year absence, Geraldine Kane is returning to the family estate in Upper Canada to claim her inheritance.
Her father, Henry Kane, had passed away; her mother murdered. Her mother's killer had been apprehended, tried and sentenced to hang. The convicted murderer was the estate's 11-year-old stable boy.
George Tweel had studied to be a lawyer, but chose to pursue justice instead. He's discovered that legal and justice are not the same thing. Hired to find those responsible for a series of robberies from supposedly "burglar proof safes", he found something unexpected.
Separate lives, but all linked by the ripple effect of old man Kane's extra-marital affair over a decade earlier.
Lives will be lost, and the lives of the survivors will be changed forever.
And it's not just the guilty who suffer.
