Après vingt ans d'absence, Aude Renaud retourne à Littlebrook, un coin reculé de la Montérégie tout près de la frontière…
américaine. Elle est là pour soutenir sa mère, la mairesse, alors qu'une pénurie d'eau fait monter les hostilités entre la mégaferme Zelter et le conseil municipal. Mais Aude s'est aussi donné une mission secrète : dénoncer les crimes de Rolf Zelter, celui qui l'a autrefois poussée à l'exil. À cette fin, elle donnera en pleine forêt un spectacle où elle a convié le village entier. Pour tendre ce piège, elle aura besoin de l'aide d'Aksel, son ami d'enfance qui est aussi le fils de Rolf. Une alliance délicate et incertaine qui donne à son plan des airs de trahison

In an instant the current changed, the sea flattened, the boat settled, and they were riding the tide. The village…
was behind them again. The moon ahead of them. And a corpse at Kes's feet. After mandatory leave, Homicide Detective Kes Morris is back. She's assigned to a missing persons case by personal request and direct order of her new captain. Discretion required. Begrudgingly, she travels to the magnificent Bay of Fundy where the young woman was last seen, only to find a dead man floating in the powerful currents. In a village that follows its own code of maritime law and doesn't trust outsiders, Kes is swept into an ever-widening tide of murder, power, secrets, and lies. The deeper she goes, the murkier the case becomes, threatening to pull her under. Guilt and innocence churn in this story of love, retribution, and the lengths we're willing to go for family.
