Every few weeks, Lizzie writes Frankie a make-believe letter from his father, telling of his adventures in exotic lands.

With the real HMS Accra arriving in only a fortnight, Lizzie must choose between telling Frankie the truth or finding the perfect stranger to play Frankie's father for just one day...
