A history of corruption and mismanagement plagues Linwood Bankruptcy. The Bankruptcy Human Resources office had decided that ex Army Officers and CRA officers would be good Official Receivers. Their skills did not match the requirements. This caused large anomalies in the Branch. The lack of special training in detecting malfeasance invited those with fraud in mind. The area of rehabilitation was forgotten. When Tim Crozier steps in as the new Federal Receiving Officer in Linwood, Ontario, he intends to restore order and justice to the office where violations had been prevalent.

Tim uses his trained eye to follow the trail of malfeasance and right the wrongs left behind. Standing in the way of Tim's good intentions include a bully lawyer, hidden assets, and an out-of-line trustee. With the help of his diligent assistants, Comfort and Sophie, Tim introduces a new era at Linwood Bankruptcy. His example results in sound training for all Official Receivers.
