Hail Mary

Welcome to North Shore Township. Where you can never dig a grave too deep, and you can never keep a secret for too long. The Foreman family has made their fortune burying the dead (and not just funeral services, allegedly). Mary Foreman fled North Shore Township years ago to escape her family''s legacy. But when her estranged mother reappears during a local election, reigniting rumours of corporate corruption and criminal activity, Mary''s uncle summons her to help with his campaign. Mary leaves Toronto and takes up residence in Foreman House - the now-vacant gothic mansion once home to the Foremans and their infamous funeral business. She also secures a teaching job at her alma mater, St. Joseph''s School for Girls, set to unearth the time capsule her great-grandmother helped mastermind. But when the time capsule is opened, the family''s legacy rears its ugly head once again. Embroiled in a criminal investigation - one with eerie parallels to several cold cases - Mary begins to unravel a truth rooted in her cursed matrilineal line, the haunted funeral home she grew up in, and the crime her mother stood trial for decades earlier. Crushed by the weight of the township''s suspicion, Mary must fight to prove her own innocence. Not only of recent crimes, but past ones, too. For this is the North Shore of Lake Huron, and the past is always present where the dead don''t die.
