Spoilers ahead
Ralph James, Lucas Evans, is a shy stamp enthusiast living in Montreal whose timid nature and stutter make him easy to overlook. One day, his classmate Tommy Tricker, Anthony Rogers, a crafty stamp exchanger and con artist, drops by his house with a bold deal: exchange a spare Bluenose stamp — the one showing a man on the ship’s mast and owned by Ralph’s father — for a collection of rare permanent stamps. Though hesitant at first, Ralph agrees, only for Tommy to swap in a different set of stamps and vanish with the Bluenose, selling it to a stamp shop for about $300 to buy groceries.
