[1] It features Andrew McCarthy and Evan Williams as father and son on a road-trip from Oregon to Washington, D.C. transporting their own Sitka Spruce tree on a truck to be planted across from the White House on Thanksgiving.

Seventeen-year-old Rock Burdock (Evan Williams) wins a nationwide contest for his tree to be planted across the White House.

Faith Russel (Kari Matchett), marketing representative of the company Box of Toys who is in charge of the project, visits Rock and his father Corey (Andrew McCarthy).

After Faith's attempts to persuade her boss fail, the team now cuffs Rock to the tree and protest against its destruction.

Finally the President of the United States calls the Park ranger on his cell phone and tells him to plant the tree.
