Description

Frank Foote's quiet Winnipeg neighbourhood is greening into summer when a dead baby is discovered in his neighbour's rain barrel. Frank is a cop. He's seen a lot of crime scenes, but this one is too close to home. And when Ivy Grace, a former schoolmate, suddenly resurfaces after a long absence, Frank realizes he will have to confront the shameful secrets of his past before the summer is over.
