    A story of two siblings, their dead uncle, and a fish farm worth millions. 
    Cal is a smart ass ex-junkie with a chip on his shoulder and a bad back. When he learns that his estranged alcoholic uncle Johan has died, Cal flies to Prince Edward Island (PEI) to handle his estate. His sister Maggie tags along to keep things on track, and more importantly, to keep an eye on Cal. 
    As soon as they arrive, they learn about the man they chose to ignore for the better part of their lives: Johan’s multi-million dollar fish farm, his secret lover, his money-hungry business partner, and a potential conspiracy that could jeopardize everything he worked for. The further they dig, the stranger things become: missing prescription meds, X-rated home videos that expose more than a little skin, and a seemingly insane cash offer for Johan’s shares in the company.  
    Uncovering the truth behind Johan’s life leaves them questioning the nature of his death. Ultimately, both siblings must choose between walking away with their uncle’s fortune or risking everything to expose the truth.
