The story centers around Nick Stretton, who returns to the La Chance gold mine after months of road-making work. On his journey back, he encounters mysterious circumstances involving a girl named Paulette Brown, who appears to have her own agenda concerning the mine's gold and harbors secrets that intertwine with dark elements from the past. At the start of the story, Nick crosses the tumultuous Lac Tremblant in a canoe, reflecting on his frustrations and longing for something beyond his current life at the mine. Soon, he unexpectedly meets Paulette, who expresses her disdain for his presence and warns him to leave, hinting at a complicated history related to the mine and its gold. Their interaction is laden with tension, as Paulette's forceful demeanor juxtaposes Nick's curiosity and attraction. The opening captures an atmosphere of foreboding, intrigue, and personal conflict, setting the stage for a mystery that hints at danger both from the natural wilderness and deeper secrets entwined in their lives at La Chance.
