Days before Christmas, Murdoch and his wife, Dr. Julia Ogden (Gemini® winner Hélène Joy, Durham County), travel to Victoria, British Columbia, to spend time with Murdoch's eccentric brother. But instead of a relaxing holiday with Jasper (Dylan Neal, Dawson's Creek) and his family, they end up investigating a murder at an archaeological site.

Back in Toronto, Constables Crabtree (Jonny Harris, Still Standing) and Higgins (Lachlan Murdoch, Copper) try to impress their sweethearts before a skiing outing, and Inspector Brackenreid (Thomas Craig, Where the Heart Is) and his wife invest in a money-making scheme run by a man named Ponzi.
