An industrious boy, if haunted by the mysterious figures of his mother's past, he grows up in a floating hotel full of loggers before landing in a mountain internment camp during WWII. After the war, the young man tries his luck in Toronto, where possibility awaits in the form of a patron who teaches him how to turn effort into money, and a starry-eyed architect who teaches Frankie something harder to come by: the ability to dream big.
