Jasminder Bansal is determined, Carl Reed is addicted, and Mark Hamel is righteous. There's only one thing that can bring them together and satisfy them all--The Solstice. A future property development in Vancouver's north end that promises everything: freedom, prestige, capital, status, wealth. They are all on the up. Over the course of a week, the trio vie for the Solstice, but there are debilitating obstacles standing in the way. Jasminder, a young woman with a family connection to gangland violence and a powerful ambition, is playing a deceitful and dangerous game with her boss, a slick property lawyer. Mark, a veteran of the Afghanistan War with a strong moral conscience is barely coping with the effects of PTSD while trying to repay his debt to his brother--a debt that draws him in to a dark and disturbing world of violence and corruption. Finally, there's Carl "Blitzo" Reed, an addict and co-founder of Green Lead, an ecological investment firm with a morally questionable connection to the property.
