โฆ Synopsis
Calgary, Alberta, gears up for its ten-day Stampede festival. When a hoarder dies in a suspicious house fire, adjuster Paula Savard sets the revelry aside to handle the property insurance claim. But Paula's interviews with the hoarder's bickering heirs raise questions. What are they hiding from each other and the police? Are they trying to help or to sabotage the investigation? Did one of them set the blaze to kill a relative and hasten an inheritance? The case turns personal when Paula's daughter becomes involved with a suspect and moves into his home. If Paula learns the truth, she can ensure her daughter's safety. While the police are occupied with keeping order during the Stampede, Paula digs through the hoarder's life. She unearths betrayal, murder and a long-ago secret that led to his death. Exposing the truth would put Paula at risk, but free a troubled family.
