His grandson Gwyn is the only living relative left totell his tales, but he spends his days in silent isolation, fixingdamaged fishing nets with the net-needle Samuel carved froma walrus tusk.

When a lonely young boy becomes intrigued with his boat andoffers to help fix it, they form a bond that gives him hope he’llbe able to speak again. As Gwyn starts talking about the pasthe begins to leave a legacy of his own. A riddle for the youngboy to solve.
