Even after twenty years, the tight-knit Ontario community of Long Point County remains haunted by the tragic Lake Erie shipwreck that took place just off its coast in 1852. Several of its survivors still live among them even now, having been adopted into local families after washing ashore. Even the sunken wreckage of the ship itself had changed lives, and not for the better-most notably that of one of its most promising young men, drawn by the dangerous lure of its rumoured treasures.

Still, no one in town had been more affected by the tragedy than local historian Becky McCormack. She'd dedicated the past two decades of her life to intensive research in the hopes of uncovering, at last, the identities of each person who'd been lost on that horrible day and ensuring that none would remain unmourned or forgotten, whether buried namelessly in the local cemetery or lost to Lake Erie's unforgiving waters.

No longer young by anybody's standards, and with dementia beginning to sink its claws into her once razor-sharp mind, Becky's family and friends can now only hope that she'll finish her life's work before it's too late, attaining the closure and peace she's sought on behalf of others for so long. And in doing so ... finally reclaim her own.
