Caught up in the clashes, Tiger Chang manages to send a letter home about an incredible discovery. 128 years later... Phil Hardy just wants everyone to leave him alone. That way no one gets hurt. Running from his past, he thinks he has found the peace he's seeking on the cliffs looking out over the shores of Lake Superior. Dragon Chang is following in the footsteps of his great-grandfather, in search of his discovery. The young triad leader will use all his available resources, including the killing skills he learned on the opium smuggling routes in China, to locate and secure his future. Local police officer April Harrison has a handle on everything going on in her community, except her abusive ex-husband. Everything goes sideways when she starts asking questions about who is hanging around the old ghost town of Jackfish and the past begins to catches up with the present in more ways than one.
