Zach and Ben have been best buddies since
they were in grade school. They were those “two guys” that we all know,
opposites, but still the same kid. Their friendship continued through High
School. Zach continually got them in trouble due to his carefree existence, and
Ben was oblivious to everything as he became smitten by the girl of his dreams.
Just as Ben got the nerve to pursue her, she moved out of the neighborhood,
leaving Ben devastated for many years to come. Twelve years later, Ben & Zach,
now in their mid-20’s, still close friends, but have drifted apart due to making
different choices in life. Ben is overworked and doesn’t spend time doing the
things he loves. He buries himself day and night in his work at a law firm. The
only thing outside of work Ben has focused on is his life-long crush on the girl
he met years ago in high school. Zach, an easy-going guy who enjoys everything
he does, happily spends his days taking care of the elderly at a nursing home.
Zach’s only problem is that he always speaks his mind and sometimes doesn’t see
the repercussions of his words or actions until its too late. Zach misses
spending time with his friend, but doesn’t know how to wake him up and get him
to start living his life again. Zach’s chance comes when a dying patient at the
retirement home begs him to find her granddaughter, whom she desperately wants
to see her before she dies. When Zach sees her photo, he can’t believe his eyes!
It’s Ben’s long, lost crush, Heather. She has gone into the woods to save the
environment, and has been missing for seven years. Zach talks Ben into taking
off time to go on this adventure of a lifetime. If they find Heather, Ben can
finally tell her how he’s felt all these years! Our two friends head out on the
river, along with Heather’s sophisticated British cousin, Nigel, to see if she
is truly alive and living in the trees. Along the way, they need to re-connect
as friends to overcome many obstacles, including some drunk townsfolk, obsessed
hillbillies, a haunted river, an army of squirrels, a mad genius and two goons
that are secretly following Nigel. All just to re-start a friendship and to find
the one girl who got away |
