It’s after midnight, the prairie wind is blowing cold and people are secure in their cells at the school for the incurables. Or are they?
Curfew was hours ago and the guards are lulled into holiday drowsiness. Or maybe they’ve been bribed? Possibly charmed. He was always pretty good at that. Either way he’s determined to escape. Desperate.

They’re counting on him to break free which he does with surprising ease. He makes his way to the rail yard.
What he doesn’t do next changes the course of British Columbia history.
