Years earlier, Lizzie (Emily Mortimer) took her son (Jack McElhone) and ran from a life with an abusive husband. As mother and son move from town to town, Lizzie, with the best of intentions, invents a new family history; she tells her son, Frankie, that his father is a seaman aboard the HMS Accra and even manages to send tender letters from his "father" telling about adventures in distant places.
Now, the deception is backing her into a corner; Frankie discovers the ship is docked near their latest home! Lizzie will have to break her son's heart with the truth or quickly hire a man (Gerard Butler) to pose as his dad.
A story about love and kindness. Great performances by all.
