Synopsis

A rogue PI is hired to find two missing teens. Then paid not to. He’s going to find them anyway—come hell, high water, drug lords or Russian mob…
--
Things haven’t been going well for Jack McQueen. He’s a divorced, ex-RCMP cop with no friends left on the force. He takes a job from a First Nations chief whose teenage nieces disappeared. He expects a simple missing persons case.
That’s out the window when he’s kidnapped, threatened, and bribed to drop the case. Carrot and stick. Jack takes the carrot—then sets out to find the girls anyway.
First order of business: find out who grabbed him. He gets a partial plate on the car that took him—which belongs to the richest man on Vancouver Island (which is saying something), or a Russian Mob boss. He’s not sure which.
Until he finds two dead Russians with a photo of the missing girls, and traces of cocaine. Then he’s pretty sure.
As things turn out, live Russians are more troublesome than dead ones, and Jack is in their sights—along with his tech-savvy partner Stacie Machado, who’s helping him research the missing girls.
Their search leads them to a place Jack swore he’d never return to, Vancouver Island, where they come up against a drug lord even the Russians fear—and find out that Jack wasn’t exactly given the whole story by the chief who hired him…
