The premise
Detective John Cardinal attempts to uncover the mystery of what happened to the missing 13-year-old girl whose body is discovered in the shaft-head of an abandoned mine. At the same time, he comes under investigation by his new partner, Lise Delorme, a tough investigator in her own right.
Horror Vault's take
Set against the stark, frozen landscape of northern Ontario, Cardinal follows a weathered homicide detective haunted by a case that cuts uncomfortably close to home. When the remains of a missing teenage girl surface at an abandoned mine, Detective John Cardinal races to unmask a killer who may still be hunting. Adding another layer of pressure, his sharp new partner Lise Delorme has her own quiet agenda — one that keeps Cardinal looking over his shoulder even as the body count looms. This Canadian crime drama earns its dread through character depth and icy atmosphere rather than spectacle.
