The Victoria Bank on the corner of Bay and Front Streets, Toronto, looks out over a harbour full of rowing and sailing races, and its young clerks would rather be on the water. Among them moves Geoffrey Hampstead, handsome and persuasive, whose fair outward hides a darker nature, as the epigraph from Cymbeline warns. Love, ambition and crime entangle him in the society of the city.
