“How far would you go to believe a lie if it was the only thing keeping your child alive?”

Alaska, 1899. The Klondike Gold Rush is bleeding to a cold, desperate halt.

Enter Jefferson "Soapy" Smith, real-life legendary conman, ruling the underworld, Soapy is now a down-on-his-luck gangster with only one thing left to care for, his desperately ill ten-year-old son, William.

When a young girl is pulled alive from a raging river clutching a salmon, a wild rumour grips the frozen camp. They say the fish CAN TALK. For Soapy, this is the ultimate gamble. Is it his grandest con yet? Mass hysteria in a town starved of hope? Or is this silent, swimming creature a genuine miracle sent to save his dying son?

When a sharp-tongued biological scientist, Dr. Kathleen Mole, arrives to dissect the truth, she brings with her a ghost from Soapy’s past that threatens to shatter his carefully constructed world.
