| Summary: | "Private investigator Dan Sharp investigates the disappearance of a young boy in the Canadian wilderness. A five-year-old autistic boy disappears while on a camping trip with his mother, Janice, and her partner, Ashley. Reluctant to involve the police, they call in private investigator Dan Sharp when a ransom demand arrives. On investigating, Dan learns that the boy's parents -- including his biological father, Eli -- have plenty of potential enemies who might be responsible for the kidnapping. Among them are Janice's ex-husband, Dennis, a successful stock broker who believed the boy was his son, the boy's surrogate mother, Sarah, now a drug addict, Eli's former business partner, Elroy, a motorcycle gang member, and a mysterious woman whose unexpected appearance unnerves Janice. In the meantime, Dan is encountering difficulties of his own when his best friend Donny takes issue with Dan's new partner, Nick, a police officer who disapproves of Dan's tendencies to tackle danger on his own. A trip to Lion's Head in the Bruce Peninsula, where the boy disappeared, brings Dan unexpectedly into contact with his own brutal upbringing. But when a suspected kidnapper is found dead, Dan suddenly finds himself chasing ghosts of the present as well as the past.-- |
