On an afternoon in the 1920’s, after a long life of ups and downs as a seedy vaudevillian, Tom Sawyer - who has performed under the name of Thomas Gray - returns to the hill that was his boyhood playground outside the village of Hannibal, Missouri, on the Mississippi.
At the end of his rope, he is desperate to locate, or at least find out about, his childhood pal, Huck Finn, who was the fun-loving, ragtag son of the town drunk. Instead, Gray encounters a reclusive old gentleman named Henry Finnegan who greets strangers with suspicion and a shotgun. An adventure down memory lane with humor and wisdom.
