The one thing Josephine “Jo” Bradley knows for certain is that she’s a good cop. She’s ambitious and tough (or thinks she is) and has just been assigned her first case as lead detective following her recent promotion to Vancouver’s Homicide Division. Born in China and abandoned by a family she never knew, Jo was adopted as a toddler and relocated to Vancouver. When Charles Xie goes missing and his body is found ritualistically buried, Jo will be forced to tear his family apart and reveal a long held secret in order to solve the murder of their troubled youngest son. The cat-and-mouse game she plays to fracture the Xie family will also leave Jo broken and searching for her own identity and the meaning of family.
