Synopsis

Trying to avoid an abusive relationship, young Timmy dashes off from his broken home to a hill that overlooks the entire landscape. After managing his mixture of emotions, he defiantly marches off into a set of woods that tower nearby, then finds a massive Oak tree and sobs beneath it. However, this is no ordinary tree, and this is no typical forest as Timmy’s sobbing is suddenly interrupted by the incessant tapping of a branch. Finally pushed over the edge, Timmy angrily grabs the branch, only to find a kind face etched into the tree’s bark. Realizing that this tree is more friend than foe, Timmy slowly grows his relationship with the Oak and surrounding trees, which finally brings light into his, otherwise, dismal world. Although, everything crashing down when he arrives one day to find all of his friends completely chopped down. Utterly broken, Timmy decides to go off and find who cut down his entire world and how to restore the forest he once confided in.
