The police had warned her about wandering polar bears, but not about the murderer who was lurking in this remote Canadian fishing village. And not about love. Photographer Lory Finning is commissioned to take photos for a picture book in Stormy Cove, Newfoundland. Her client, Mona Blackwood, also wants her to "take a little look around" – which seems strange to Lory, but she doesn't question it at first. However, barely arriving in Newfoundland, she learns that a murder occurred in Stormy Cove twenty years ago, which remains unsolved and still seems to haunt the villagers. Is the picture book just a pretext for Mona's assignment? Why is the entrepreneur so interested in this remote location? And what role does the attractive coastal fisherman Noah play, to whom Lory feels increasingly drawn?.
