Single mother and reluctant detective Dame Polara just wants to keep her family safe. When her two-year-old daughter is kidnapped by her old nemesis, she is forced to draw on her unusual talents to rescue Rosie. To make matters worse, Dameâ s dad â retired private eye Dodge Polara â is hospitalized after suffering a second stroke, and Dame uncovers a strange connection between her motherâ s murder and the apparent suicide of a former city counsellor.

Scouring the Greater Toronto Area in search of Rosie, Dame relies on her friends, her fatherâ s shady connections, and even her former adversaries for aid. Her investigation leads her to a federal prison in Gravenhurst, an abandoned Queensway motel, and to a Toronto Argonauts home game.

But when Dame learns that Rosieâ s abduction is part of a larger criminal conspiracy, she may be forced to betray her own ideals to save her family.
