Meg Harris and her husband, Eric Odjik, are visiting Vancouver for a First Nations meeting. Meg Harris encounters the crime scene of a murdered Haida carver. She and her husband Eric are forced to confront Eric's painful past when the young victim's identity is discovered, the murder victim is Eric's adopted sister's adopted son. The repercussions send them up the coast to the islands of Haida Gwaii, land of the Haida, in search of the murdered boy's family and his killer. As the search progresses, a totem pole carver sets out to depict the ancient tale of a long-ago chief's treasure and how it incited deception and shame. This tragedy reaches its nasty tentacles into the present where Meg and Eric find themselves embroiled in a modern-day story of betrayal.
