Looking to the future, he applies for and accepts a position as the Security Chief at the Grain Terminal Port in Churchill, Manitoba. As John moves into the job, he soon realizes that there is a lot more going on at the Churchill Port than meets the eye and that he has landed in a nest of deception and murder. His predecessor died under unusual circumstances, and soon after his arrival, he receives threats that he should leave before something similar happens to him. Someone or some people do not want him there.
