A troubled American woman travels to a small Ontario town, determined to
find the mother she has never known. As she searches through dusty
records and stirs up old memories among those around her, three young
people emerge from the mists of the past . . . a beautiful woman named
Jenny, a shy local boy named Russell, and a dark-eyed painter named Tom,
who changes the course of Jenny and Russell's lives. Historical reality
and conjecture are skilfully interwoven with intrigue and suspense as
these three move unwittingly toward tragedy.
