In Toronto's rough days of 1839, several elite citizens harbor dark secrets, offering rich compost for a sleazy blackmailer. Caught in the muck is the gallant young Brodie Langford who is desperate to protect his sweetheart from disgrace. When Brodie is arrested for the extortionist's murder, Marc Edwards, now a barrister, struggles to save him from the gallows and to reunite the couple.
