A town boy sent to live on a remote wilderness farm forms a friendship with an elderly, disfigured man who teaches him many things.

After having survived alone in the wilderness, Brian finds that he can no longer live in the city but must return to the place where he really belongs.

As winter progresses, the strange man in the worn flight jacket dances frequently on the ice of the rink, expressing more with his movements than most people do with words.
