"I didn't kill her. I had the thought, the idea. What's the saying? The road to heaven is paved with bad intentions?"
Police academy burnout turned private eye Patrick Bird works divorce cases, using his camera to catch the unfaithful and the lonely looking for love in rented rooms. But his easy routine is shattered by a new case involving a missing girl.
Sixteen-year-old Abbie Linklater hasn't been home for three days. Her mother believes Abbie's getting an abortion. Her twin brother thinks she's studying at the library. Her best friend couldn't care less. Her father has no idea; he just wants her home without involving the police.
Before the sun sets on the first day of his investigation, as Bird roams the streets of Toronto looking for the runaway, he's caught a drifter prowling in the Linklater's backyard, stumbled into a creepy church with a belligerent minister, sparred with the client, been hit by a car, and discovered some loose ends in a bank robbery gone wrong a decade earlier.
And that was before he found the body.
