Synopsis/Details
Steve returns to his hometown in a southern New Jersey beach community to regroup after being laid off from his swanky Manhattan ad agency job. Eager to get back to city life, but broke, Steve decides to help his friend, a local ladies man who owns a failing landscaping company that's under constant threat from a rival lawn care business owned by Mike, a meathead who used to pick on Steve in high school. Steve learns to bloom where he's planted, while learning of Mike's greedy plan to convert the area's lawns to artificial turf. Will Steve become a champion of nature and stop Mike's plan of forever blighting the community's landscape?
