Out in Conception Bay, on the northern Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and Labrador, sits Bell Island, a tight knit community where iron has been mined for centuries. At eleven years old, Jimmy enters the mine in place of his father, who died in a tragic accident years earlier. To help support his family, Jimmy must overcome his fear of the underground space. He's not sure he's cut out for a miner's life until one day his lamplight illuminates a beautiful horse named Slowpoke, with a nose like velvet. The two soon find they have more in common than they could have dreamed, and when tragedy rears its head again, it is up to Slowpoke and Jimmy to save the day.
