      It's 1919 and wealthy Toronto theatre magnate Ambrose Small (Art Hindle) has just sold his chain of theatres for over a million dollars. But he doesn't get a chance to enjoy it. Shortly after his wife Theresa (Wendy Crewson) deposits the cheque in the bank, Ambrose mysteriously disappears without a trace. Ambrose's disappearance sets off a powder keg of accusations directed at Theresa and young detective Cole Willis (Joel Keller) is brought in for her protection.
