Dear Frankie Plot and Cast
Lizzie has moved constantly with her nine-year-old deaf son Frankie, most recently to a seaside Scottish town. To protect him from the truth that they ran away from his father, she claims his dad is away at sea on HMS Accra and writes him make-believe letters about exotic adventures. When Frankie learns the ship will dock locally within a fortnight, Lizzie faces a choice: reveal the truth or find a stranger to impersonate his father for a day.
