Georgian Bay: a spectacular terrain of granite shores, deserted islands, and infinite sparkling bays. As part of her cross-Canada charity tour, Amanda has organized a kayaking trip in the area for families from a poor rural Ontario community. While kayaking in a remote bay, the group rescues a young Filipino woman stranded on a small island. She has no money or I.D., and is terrified. Amanda soon learns that the wealthy owner of a nearby Georgian Bay waterfront mansion has been murdered and the police are searching for the family's nanny. The woman begs for Amanda's help, insisting no one will believe she is innocent. Complicating matters further, Amanda learns that members of her kayaking group knew the murdered man, who was universally disliked by the locals for reasons that no one will reveal.
