What is the secret of the Lady Evelyn-Smoothwater Provincial Park?

Ten years ago, a little boy went missing in the Lady Evelyn-Smoothwater Provincial Park. Legend has is that he died and became the Ghost of Ontario. When fifteen-year-old Kylie learns of it, she vows to uncover the mystery, but things become extra interesting when she and her family meet an amnesic hermit, Ihaan, in the park.

Ihaan has no memories of his past. All he remembers is his life with Canada's wild animals. However, it changes when he meets Kylie. Suddenly, he is desperate to find his lost memories, so he joins Kylie and her family on their canoe trip, much to Kylie's mother's displeasure.

As the trip progresses, Kylie and her family learn new secrets about Ihaan and try to help him get home. Ihaan, though, is not too eager to leave the provincial park after living alone in it for long. When mysterious happenings begin: "Lucilla" and voices in the forest, Kylie begins to wonder... Is Ihaan the Ghost of Ontario himself?

Note: Ihaan is pronounced "Ian".
