Reece Chartwell returns to his parents' home in Yorkton Hill, Ontario, to find his father, Brent, and a woman he assumes is his mother, Catherine, dead in bed.

The woman in the bed is identified as Leah Kennard, a receptionist at a local clinic. Detective Janice McCabe investigates, uncovering links to Wiffel-Smith, a pharmaceutical company Brent worked for, and a past murder involving Evelyn Corby, a sales representative for the company.

The novel explores themes of family secrets, corporate corruption, and the lengths one will go to protect loved ones.
