With demons from his tour of duty in Bosnia haunting him, police detective Conk Adams is tasked with identifying a body found in a secluded northern bog. A young archaeologist from the city is called to assist him. But Catherine Nyland has a secret of her own: she requires physical healing just as much as Conk is in need of spiritual and emotional relief. An unlikely pair, their working relationship develops into a unique personal bond as they review the forensics of the case. Along the way to uncovering the secret of the preserved body in the mystical bog they encounter a reclusive Aboriginal elder who seems to hold the key not only to the body's identity but also to the path down which Catherine and Conk will ultimately travel.

Shot entirely in northern Ontario, this dark and stylish noir is a tale of two people searching for healing and redemption - a quest for "that beautiful somewhere".
