His father, a banker by trade, has taken over the family logging company at the request of Brett's grandfather who is no longer able to operate it due to failing health. But mother is not happy with this and gives him only a year to try it out. Reluctantly, she allows her son to spend the summer with his father at Snow Shoe.
