Sarah McLachlan est une Son Canadienne née le 28 janvier 1968 à Halifax (Canada)
Sarah Ann McLachlan, OC, OBC (born January 28, 1968) is a Canadian musician, singer, and songwriter. Known for her emotional ballads and mezzo-soprano vocal range, as of 2009, she has sold over 40 million albums worldwide. McLachlan's best-selling album to date is Surfacing, for which she won two Grammy Awards (out of four nominations) and four Juno Awards. In addition to her personal artistic efforts, she founded the Lilith Fair tour, which showcased female musicians. The Lilith Fair concert tours took place from 1997 to 1999, and resumed in the summer of 2010. Since 2006 she has also been known as a highly visible supporter of the ASPCA, as well as various other charities.
Following The October Game's first concert at Dalhousie University opening for Moev, McLachlan was offered a recording contract with Vancouver-based independent record label Nettwerk by Moev's Mark Jowett. McLachlan's parents insisted she finish high school and complete one year of studies at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design before moving to Vancouver and embarking on a new life as a recording artist, and McLachlan finally signed to Nettwerk two years later before having written a single song.
In 1994 McLachlan became the target of a lawsuit, when she was sued by Uwe Vandrei, an obsessed fan from Ottawa, who alleged that his letters to her had been the basis of the single "Possession." The lawsuit was also challenging for the Canadian legal system—Vandrei was a self-admitted stalker whose self-acknowledged goal in filing the lawsuit was to be near McLachlan physically. Consequently, special precautions were planned to ensure McLachlan's safety if at any time she had to be in the same location as Vandrei. The lawsuit never came to trial, however, as Vandrei was found dead in an apparent suicide before the trial began. This topic was explored at length in Canadian author Judith Fitzgerald's book, Building a Mystery: The Story of Sarah McLachlan & Lilith Fair.
In 1997, Sarah McLachlan married her drummer, Ashwin Sood, in Jamaica. McLachlan lost her mother to cancer in December 2001, while McLachlan herself was pregnant. McLachlan gave birth to a daughter, named India Ann Sushil Sood, on April 6, 2002, in Vancouver. By this time, McLachlan had already completed three-quarters of the production on her next record, Afterglow. On June 22, 2007, she gave birth to her second daughter, named Taja Summer Sood, in Vancouver. McLachlan announced her separation from Ashwin Sood in September 2008.
Sarah McLachlan currently resides in Vancouver.

Erica Bain, animatrice de radio à New York, et son fiancé David, alors qu'ils effectuent une promenade en amoureux un soir dans Central Park, sont violemment agressés et David meurt de ses blessures. Après sa longue convalescence, Erica développe une psychose de l'agression et se procure illicitement une arme. Témoin d'un braquage sanglant dans une supérette, et submergée par la terreur, elle réagit viscéralement en abattant le meurtrier. Peu après, lorsque deux voyous font irruption dans une rame de métro où ils s'amusent à terroriser les passagers avant de s'en prendre à elle, elle les tue et s'enfuit. L'inspecteur Mercer, chargé d'enquêter sur cette série d'assassinats, est par ailleurs l'un des fidèles auditeurs des chroniques urbaines d'Erica. Il la consulte, car il pense que les investigations qu'elle mène dans la cité peuvent le mettre sur la piste du justicier new-yorkais. Parallèlement, happée dans une spirale offensive, Erica se lance à la recherche des assassins de David.
