Caleb, 27, was raised in the majestic Kootenay region of B.C. by his bush hippie parents. He loves his father Jim and understands his reverence for wood working, coriander and soya products, but he just doesn't get Jim's determined effort to achieve economic disaster at every turn. His father is a relentlessly unsuccessful businessman, and as the junior partner in their carpentry shop, Caleb is powerless to stop the fiscal self-sabotage. When Matthew, an old friend of Jim's, arrives in the valley to develop a high-end fishing lodge, Caleb sees fortune looming, provided he can keep Jim distracted. A small deception leads to colossal betrayal, and Caleb finally reaches that treasured day when a boy becomes man enough to stand up to his father.
