When Edie scores a job appraising a waterfowl decoy collection at a hoarders farmhouse, shes determined to take advantage of the situation to rebuild the businesss tarnished reputation and dwindling coffers. In lieu of payment, Edie intends to cherry-pick an exceptional decoy carved by the clients renowned Quebecoise folk artist ancestors. Only the tables turn when the collection vanishes. Accused of the theft, Edies terrified that the fallout will destroy the business and land her in prison next to her mom. Desperate, she digs into the underbelly of the local antiques and art world. When Edie uncovers a possible link between the decoy theft and a deadly robbery at a Quebec museum, she longs to ask her ex-probation officer, and ex-lover, for help. But she suspects his recent interest in rekindling their romance may hide a darker motive. With the help of her eccentric uncle Tuck and Kala, their enigmatic new employee, Edie must risk all she holds dear to expose the thieves and recover the decoys before the FBIs Art Crime Team or the ruthless thieves themselves catch up with her.
