Teenager Tommy wonders about life. Especially as he befriends the young vagrant fishing on the local pier. They become best friends and confidantes. And Tommy is in love with the French Foreign Minister's daughter Gabriella! A twist of fate takes them on a magical journey. A dangerous adventure. All the way to The Rock!
