Lower Canada, 1804. Arthur Stanton, lacking direction in his life and desperately seeking the approval of his father, wanders the streets of Montreal filled with daydreams of exotic lands and adventures inspired by novels and traveller's tales. Set amongst the starkly beautiful landscapes of the upper great lakes during an era of blurred and shifting boundaries between nations and cultures, where nothing is certain and misapprehensions can be fatal, Arthur’s journey becomes a tragicomic tale of love, loss and redemption.
