The knife twists deeper…
Former child TV detectives and best friends Emily Orchid and Daniela Crest are returning home from New York City on a bus. Their ride takes a turn for the worse when one of their fellow passengers, the infamous Dr. Ziff Bermann, is murdered, and the two friends must solve the crime before the bus brings the killer home to Toronto. How far would you be willing to go for a stranger? Would you be willing to inhabit your own past to save a life?
