The Maji-ataage Casino and Hotel is succeeding beyond all expectations in Port Huntington, a small resort town on Georgian Bay, sparking an economic boom in the local community from increased tourism. But all is not as it seems. Within a two-week span in July, two casino employees are murdered. While the deaths seem at first to be unrelated, police homicide detectives uncover evidence that might show a link between them. Derek Sloan, a member of the casino board, and his wife, Maggie Keiller, are drawn into a related investigation when approached by the casino's general manager and security chief for help. They have been targeted by an unknown extortionist who threatens to reveal their sexual indiscretions if they do not cooperate. When suspected links to organized crime and Chinese money-laundering are uncovered, the investigations into the murders and extortion attempts come together in a crashing climax.
