Fraser, a Scottish teenager, follows his best friend to Canada, only to discover their friendship didn't survive the journey. Alone, in more senses than one, he faces a clique at his new school which is hell-bent on making his life a misery. He is warned off doing well in class, and an impending public recital competition puts him in the firing line. He cannot hide from their unwelcome attention. As an escape, Fraser sets off on a camping trip and has a curious, fortune-changing encounter. Helping hands embolden him to plot a route to even the odds; however, there are cow-pats on the road ahead. His idea offers payback but needs his peer group to get their noses in the trough first. Would they act true to form? Would his guardian angel or St Christopher medallion protect him on this perilous venture? Either way, the very thought made him chuckle.
