Oakville is a small town in the state of New York, USA. It has 15,084 inhabitants and was founded in 1688.
The foundation of the community goes back to predominantly Dutch settlers. Most of them come from Brabant and Flanders.


The story is about Harlekin-Harold. It is the year 1996. The young journalist Coby Sandford visits her old hometown. She was invited by the representatives of the high school to give a lecture for the students as a former graduate. It is about the role of women in society, about girls who want to make a career and how they can do that best.

During their stay, a cruel series of murders begins. Young schoolgirls fall into the hands of a brutal psychopath who brutally murders them.

Coby smells a big story and stays longer in town than she originally planned. She meets some people and problems from her own past.

And she gets deeply involved in the murder cases and investigations of the authorities. Deeper than she would like.
