Synopsis: In 1969, at the height of the Vietnam War, 2-year-old Redwood watched from the backseat of a beat up Volkswagen van while his mother left his father for good. At the very moment his mother walked away, Redwood, aided with the radio news of another Jack Nicklaus victory, had the beginning of a stress induced epiphany: beat Jack Nicklaus at the Masters and his parents would reunite! Eight years later he lives in Canada with his draft dodging, dope dealing, hippie father, who doesn't make life easy for his son. School is a constant battle and even with the help of his trusty sidekick, an ancient wooden golf club - nothing seems to help bring his parents back together. Suddenly his life is turned upside down! His father is arrested and Redwood is relocated to Northern California to live with his estranged mother.
