Synopsis (Compliments to Curriculum Development Division, MOE) Hopefully this will benefit my students.. Rory and his grandfather, Granda, have looked after each other since Rory's dad walked out on them. Granda is given to lapses in memory (putting Rory's homework down the rubbish chute and the rubbish in Rory's school bag) and completely irresponsible behaviour (setting fire to his coat at a Parents' Evening), but he has a generous heart and plenty of charm. Rory acts as his carer until there is a fire in the flat and the authorities decide to separate them. However, Rory is determined that they will stay together and they embark on an escape but with their faces on every television screen and in every newspaper, this is not so easy. Their journey is full of surprise betrayals and unexpected friends as they attempt to evade the authorities and eventually track down the man who walked out on them.
