The first thing you need to know: They're not antiques.
The second thing you need to know: I'm not his daughter.
Life on the street in Toronto is hard, and with winter coming, it gets tougher. This is when Frankie first meets Francis, a man old enough to be her father. He starts training her in ?the game, ? as she comes to call it; buying or stealing collectibles and small antiques and reselling them at inflated prices. Through winter, spring, and early summer, the two become a team, traveling around small towns and villages in southern Ontario collecting the items Francis refers to as ?inventory.?
But it turns out life on the road holds dangers Frankie can't anticipate, and her precarious world tips into disaster when Francis abandons her in an unfamiliar town.
Betrayed, alone, and deserted, Frankie finds herself in a dangerous situation that will require all her skill and intelligence to survive.
