It is 1954 in Montreal-the original Sin City. Michael Spence and Philippe Belanger are long-time friends and partners in an investment firm. When it is discovered that Belanger has embezzled one hundred thousand dollars from his clients, the Crown attorney has him arrested. Because Spence believes an auditing mistake has been made and his friend is innocent, he posts bail for him. Hours after his release, Belanger disappears without a trace. Private investigator Eddie Wade runs a one-man detective agency and needs a hot case to jump-start his bank account. When he is hired to find Belanger and the money he stole, Wade eagerly begins searching for answers within the glitz and glamour of high-class Montreal society. But when he is propelled into a darkness he never could have imagined, he finds a nightmare that ultimately makes him question all that he believes in. In this gripping tale, a hard-boiled private investigator hunting down an embezzler unwittingly stumbles into the underbelly of death, crime, deceit, and betrayal.
