Fifteen years ago a young girl by the name of Moonlight
Smith went to her best friend Nicky Nowak’s house for a
sleepover. Moonlight joined the family for breakfast the
following morning and was then picked up by her mother.
Shortly after, Mr. Nowak went for a walk. He was never
seen again. Autumn has arrived on the mountains above
Trafalgar, B.C., and the promise of winter is in the air.
Constable Molly Smith is cuddled by the fireplace with Adam
Tocek of the RCMP when Tocek and his dog Norman are called
to a wilderness camping ground to join the search for a
little boy who snuck away from his family looking for bears.
The child is found, dirty, terrified, weeping, but
unharmed. Then the inquisitive Norman digs up something
else: human bones. The ID isn’t positive, but it is enough
to have Sergeant John Winters of the Trafalgar City Police
pulling old boxes from the basement to re-open the Brian
Nowak investigation. He finds a family shattered beyond
recognition by the disappearance of their husband and
father. Mrs. Nowak is an empty shell of a woman, dressed in
pajamas, never leaving the house. Her son Kyle haunts the
streets of Trafalgar at night and spends his days creating
beautiful, but highly troubling, art. Nicky Nowak lives in
Vancouver and has grown up to be gorgeous, charming,
elegant. Yet behind that facade lies a woman whose heart has
closed so tightly against human relationships she comes to
Trafalgar trailing in her wake a terrifying threat to
another innocent family. As the investigation into the
life and disappearance of Brian Nowak grows, old secrets are
brought to light and new ones struggle to remain hidden.
