At a remote farm in a village north of Toronto, a woman delivers a child. The midwife is well-paid to be discreet, but the repercussions from this birth culminate in violent murder many years later.
Acting-detective William Murdoch is in charge of the investigation, and once again he is forced to confront the rigid hierarchy of Victorian Toronto society in a case involving local inhabitants from a prominent judge to a dance hall entertainer.
