Detective Charlie McKelvey's life has been stuck on pause since the murder of his runaway son. As his wife focuses on healing, McKelvey is burdened with guilt for kicking the teen out of the family home — and his inability to solve the case. Obsessed with the stalled murder investigation, McKelvey's behaviour becomes increasingly unhinged.

Retired Toronto detective Charlie McKelvey's tedious life is torn wide open when a friend, Tom Fielding, enlists his help locating a recent Bosnian immigrant who has disappeared. When a woman's body turns up in Fielding's apartment — and Fielding is nowhere to be found — McKelvey finds himself a prime suspect in an increasingly obscure murder investigation.
