Set in Glasgow, this drama centers around a nine-year-old deaf boy named Frankie. Frankie's mom (Emily Mortimer) fled the boy's abusive father years ago and led her son to believe his dad is always away at sea. When Frankie learns the Accra, the ship his father is supposed to be aboard, will call at Glasgow, the boy begs to see his dad.
