Ten year old, Anthony Cantes lives with his sister, Lise and his Mom, but where is his Dad? Everyone tells him that his Dad is a photographer and is traveling. If that is true, why do all the postcards he gets in the mail from his Dad have the same postmark? Anthony finally learns that his Dad is in prison, but why? Is he a murderer? When his Dad escapes, Anthony is going to run away with him. But is that what Anthony really wants?
