John Franklin has moved his fifteen-year-old son to the distant northern Canadian town of Houndstitch to produce a new life alongside one another after his partner, Thomas' mother, remaining them. Mourning her disappearance, John, a high school English professor, creates poetry and escapes into an affair, while Thomas withdraws into a fantasy entertainment of the infamous Victorian-era arctic expedition led by English explorer Sir John Franklin. With teenage bravado, Thomas provides himself scurvy so that he can sympathize with the heroes in the film of his brain and is almost lost himself. While advised during the period of just a few days, this gripping tale slips through time, powerfully evoking a modern family in problems and the famous "Franklin's Lost Expedition" crew's descent into despair, madness, and cannibalism aboard the HMS Erebus and HMS Terror on the Arctic tundra.
