A businessman is stalked by his murderous twin brother, who has just been released from a mental hospital.

A 17-year-old has the summer of her life when she moves to a tiny Alberta resort and meets two new friends and a handsome lifeguard.

As a result of a misdiagnosis, Detective Burt Simpson is told he has just weeks to live. He gains a new respect for his life and loved ones but learns that in order for his wife, Carolyn, and son, Dougie, to collect any insurance money, he must be killed in the line of duty. He then becomes the most reckless man on the police force, volunteering for dangerous assignments over the objections of his by-the-book partner.
