Once a struggling community of Irish immigrants, Lake Erie's Whiskey Island has a past as colourful as the patrons who frequent the local saloon.

A local gathering place for generations, the saloon is now run by the Donaghue sisters, whose lives and hearts have been shaped by family tragedy and a haunting mystery.

When an act of violence sets the wheels of fate in motion, Megan Donaghue; a woman unwilling to trust in love, and Niccolo Andreani; a man unwilling to trust in himself, are determined to learn the truth about one fateful night in the family's long–forgotten past.

As an old man struggles to protect a secret as old as Whiskey Island itself, a murder that still shadows too many lives is about to be solved –– with repercussions no one can predict.
