After surviving the horrors of the Great War, Paul Shenstone works as a
police detective in 1920s Toronto, rooting out petty criminals and
rumrunners. The unusual murder of a prominent industrialist gives him
the biggest case of his career and a not entirely welcome opportunity to
make his name on the force. The waters are muddied when the
investigation starts uncovering connections between the deceased Digby
Watt and soldiers Shenstone knew in Flanders. What will Shenstone's
choice be if he has to arrest one of his own comrades? He has promised
Watt's attractive and independent daughter that he will bring the
perpetrator to justice, but bonds forged in war are not easily broken.
In the end, what does justice require, restitution or punishment?
