Description
In the remote Alaskan town of Sitka, a woman's tragic death sets off a chain of events that exposes secrets and lies. When private detective Cecil Younger is hired to investigate the rape of his ex-friend Louise Root, he agrees despite his reservations. However, before he can make progress on the case, he witnesses her body being pulled from the ocean. As Cecil delves deeper into the mystery, he finds himself entangled in a web of requests and demands from various individuals, including his friend Officer Doggy, his autistic roommate Todd, and the executives of Global Mining. Despite the complexity of the situation, Cecil feels compelled to uncover the truth behind Louise's death, which may be linked to a secret she knew. With the help of local authorities and his own investigative skills, Cecil must navigate the treacherous landscape of Sitka's small-town politics and corporate interests to expose the truth and bring justice to those affected.
