Synopsis
The story of a 15-year-old Metis boy and a cantankerous oilfield contractor learn to grow up together over guitar lessons. Leland is a 15-year-old Metis boy living in Northern Canada. After inheriting an old guitar from a father he never knew, he sets out to find someone who can teach him to play. Ray is a local 50-year-old oilfield contractor. Ray is handsome and wealthy, with a weakness for women. He was something of a rock star back in the day, but found success in the oil patch of Alberta, and never looked back. When Leland asks Ray for guitar lessons, Ray refuses - but Leland persists. One day Ray sees Leland's guitar, recognizing it as one played by an old bandmate. From there Ray starts taking an interest in the boy, and the guitar. When Leland endures a beating rather than help some local thugs rob Ray’s garage of its vintage motorcycles, Ray’s investment in the boy increases. Encouraged by the few people close to him, Ray relents, and the lessons commence. And a poor 15-year-old Metis boy and a rich 50-year-old colonizer learn to grow up together over guitar lessons.
