A conservative account is forced to flee to the remote eastern shore of Nova Scotia and assume a new identity after he helps to send several Mafia dons to jail. However, the steamroller hospitality of the rambunctious inhabitants overwhelms any hope that he has to keep his profile lower than low. Within days he is embroiled in their nefarious doings and wild antics. Full of love, mystery and murder, this rollicking tale hurtles like a runaway train to its inevitable disastrous climax.
