Description

In the cold‑lit woods of northern Ontario, Gardner’s Crossing hums with the glow of new lamps and the low rumble of the Hulton Manufacturing plant. The town is fresh and restless, its pine‑scented air tinged with coal smoke, while the recent shock of a mysterious death at the factory casts a shadow over the bustling outpost. Jake Foster, a seasoned lumberman returning from a decade of hard labor, steps off the late train, his thoughts drifting between a hard‑won holiday and the uneasy mood that grips the settlement.

Foster’s partnership with the thoughtful Featherstone has kept a modest water‑powered sawmill alive, though winter has forced its closure and stalled a promising mineral claim. With Featherstone off to a doctor’s visit and a stalled contract threatening their future, Foster senses that the calm before night’s darkness may hide more than just frost—an opportunity, a promise, and perhaps a mystery that will test the resolve of both men.
