 Simon| a Toronto high school student| has been raised by his maternal Uncle Tom since Simon's parents| Rachel and Sami| died in a car accident eight years ago. Tom|
a tow truck driver| decided to move to the city into Rachel's house and assume the mortgage| something he could ill afford| largely not to disrupt Simon's life| but
equally to get away from his and Rachel's father| Morris| an openly bigoted man. That upbringing has made Tom a sullen and angry man. Morris only recently passed
away. Rachel and Sami met when she| a violinist| brought her instrument in to be serviced| Sami the repairman. Simon now owns his mother's expensive violin| which
Tom would like to sell to help pay the mortgage and Simon's imminent university tuition. One day at school| Simon's French teacher Sabine reads a French newspaper
