The Reward is a love story of two people brought together by the December 6, 1917, Halifax explosion, where over two thousand people were killed and more than six thousand people were severely injured. The explosion provides the backdrop for how two people, Blanche and Hugo, met and fell in love. After a short loving relationship, they parted, promising to write each other until they could be together again. Destiny played a cruel trick, and they became separated. Sixty six years later, Hugo offered a reward to find Blanche. Destiny has provided one of the greatest love stories of all time.
