| SYNOPSIS
|
 Nine-year-old
Frankie and his single mum Lizzie have been on the move ever since
Frankie can remember, most recently arriving in a seaside Scottish
town. Wanting to protect her deaf son from the truth that they've
run away from his father, Lizzie has invented a story that he is away
at sea on the HMS Accra. Every few weeks, Lizzie writes Frankie a
make-believe letter from his father, telling of his adventures in
exotic lands. As Frankie tracks the ship's progress around the globe,
he discovers that it is due to dock in his hometown. With the real
HMS Accra arriving in only a fortnight, Lizzie must choose between
telling Frankie the truth or finding the perfect stranger to play
Frankie's father for just one day. |

 Nine year old Frankie only knows his father through the letters they share. For as long as Frankie can remember, his father has been away on a ship traveling the world. Frankie has learned a great deal of geography and has collected many stamps that his father has sent.
 Because Frankie is deaf, and because his mother moves frequently, Frankie has very few friends beyond his home. Certainly his mother and grandmother love him, but there is still something missing from Frankie’s life.
 One day, one of Frankie’s classmates brings him news that his father’s ship will be in port soon. This creates something of a problem for Frankie’s mother. All these years, she has been writing the letters to Frankie to cover up that they are on the run from his father. How will she deal with the ship’s arrival without disappointing her son or admitting the lie? She seeks out a man – a man with whom she has no past or future – to hire to serve as Frankie’s father for a day.
