Frankie Ryan leaves behind a small Newfoundland fishing community to study for the priesthood in Toronto. Within months seminary life begins to take a toll and he finds himself going through an intellectual and spiritual crisis that he can't seem to work himself out of. He eventually finds that he has no choice but to leave the seminary. Rather than face the embarrassment returning home as a failure, he decides to make a life for himself on the mainland and following a series of misadventures and dead-ends he finally hits bottom.
When a possible fresh start presents itself, Frankie is determined to make peace with his past and grab hold of the second chance life has presented him. A mysterious image in his hometown piques his curiosity and sends him on a journey to discover the truth about his hometown, his ancestors . . . and inadvertently a path forward for himself.
