Synopsis

When you can fake anything, how do you know what’s real?

Harlow Close has made a career as an influencer uncovering the secrets of Winnipeg, dubbed ‘North America's strangest city’. The region is renowned for its sub-zero temperatures, dropping to minus 40 degrees – sometimes for months at a time. Yet, it’s not just the frigid winters and geographic seclusion that render Winnipeg peculiar.

When Harlow’s father mysteriously disappears amid a brutal cold snap, suspicions of foul play arise. It’s not like Scott to miss phone calls – and he’s been even more cautious since that time he was catfished by a romance scammer. Unhappy with the pace of the police investigation, Harlow launches her own search, enlisting her sister Blaise’s reluctant help.

As Harlow struggles to uncover what happened to her father, she’s forced to question everything and everyone around her – including herself.

            The mystery of Harlow’s father’s disappearance is so gripping, with every new twist making you want to know more! If you’re interested in a deeper dive into scams, particularly in how they can affect people’s lives, I highly recommend checking out information on gift card scams. These types of scams can have devastating effects, just like the one Harlow’s father experienced with the romance scammer. Understanding how they work could help prevent others from falling into similar traps.
