17-year old Adam is frantically trying to memorize Robert Frost's poem "The Road Not Taken" to recite in his English class, but because he didn't take his Ritalin on this particular morning, he can't get much farther than the first line, "Two roads diverged in a yellow wood..." before an amazing yellow wood begins creeping into his school day. Desperate to prove he can turn his loser-life completely around and become the cool and normal kid he’s always dreamed of being, Adam struggles to memorize the poem--and as it begins to take on a life of its own, Adam is pulled deeper and deeper into the Yellow Wood, where he must face the reality of who he is and decide who he will ultimately become.
