Sixteen year old Rock Burdock does not see eye to eye with his father. But when his tree, a beautiful Sitka Spruce, wins a contest to be the next Washington National Tree, Rock is forced to take a six day road trip with his dad, Corey Burdock, who reluctantly agrees to transport the massive spruce on a flatbed trailer with Rock as his traveling companion. Now the race is on to get this tree across the nation fast enough for it to survive being uprooted and transplanted.
