Summer season starts next week, but how safe is it to enter the water?
The small town of Brookfield is facing increasing confusion and anxiety as the number of missing people in the five lakes region continues to mount. One or two missing people could possibly be written off as an unfortunate drowning accident or lost hikers, but there seems to be additional mystery disappearances with every new day that passes.
Paul Chisholm is beginning to feel the burden of guilt. The lakes and the surrounding woods fall under his jurisdiction and he's a man who likes to ensure that rules are followed (even if he isn't always quite so keen on following them himself). He has made a suggestion to Officer Leroy about what he thinks might be behind the disappearances, although that suggestion is quickly dismissed. Paul has also found himself face to face with past traumas as the troubles at the lakes reignite old buried memories.
As Paul's haphazard pursuit of Daisy from the diner moves forward, Anita Cruickshank strives to antagonize him at every opportunity and Jerome Carter continues to annoy him when all he really wants is a peaceful life. Reinforcements will be sent in from the city to support the police investigation and the Brookfield happenings are a hot news item that's rapidly gaining momentum.
It's difficult to know which way to turn next and while the people of Brookfield are beginning to comprehend that something isn't quite right, Paul is skirting around the edge of the investigation and trying not to get too involved. However, as the number of missing people reaches an alarming new total, it seems that the situation is about to get even more intense.
