Gail Peck meets Dr Holly Stewart, Ottawa's top forensic pathologist on a plane on the way to a crime conference in NYC. In a rather un-Gail-Peck-like manner, Gail makes fast friends with Holly, whose easy going attitude doesn't for once put the blonde off. When Gail feels herself letting down her guard, things start to get a bit complicated.

Gail and Holly are on a rocky road, trying to figure out what they can and want to be to each other.
