Someone murdered Councillor Jeff Barber with a commemorative brick.
Libby Allen, the only woman on Gabardine town council finds politics a constant fight. She raises her hand and Mayor Cooper ignores her unless another councillor objects. Not that any of them listen to what she says. When the Mayor passes out a commemorative brick to each councillor in memory of the now destroyed historic sweater factory owned by his family, Libby is not impressed.
Now she walks into an In Camera meeting and finds out that everyone knows about the huge Lake Ontario waterfront proposal to be built in her downtown ward. She knows nothing. The century old merry-g-round, the petting zoo, the historic warehouses, the rooming houses all gone. In their place a white elephant convention centre paid by the city and a hotel. Huge condos looming just like the modern eyesores in the middle of the historic Gabardine downtown. They replaced the old Kitten Sweater Factory. The view of the waterfront will be totally blocked off. She and Jeff Barber try to get the information out of In Camera to warn the public. They fail. Everyone else passes the motion to go ahead with the developers' plans. It's not right. Then Jeff is murdered.
