For tenacious 11-year-old Robin (Darcey Ewart) and her loyal band of friends “The Hoods”, the patch of overgrown scrubland at the end of their cul-de-sac is a magical kingdom. Sticks and trash can lids have become swords and shields, drones have become majestic eagles, and the hippie lady of the forest (Christie) is a terrifying witch. The only thing limiting their colorful imaginations is the prospect of losing their kingdom forever. When slippery real estate developer Clipboard (Harris) arrives and dazzles neighborhood parents with promises of spas and daycares, the world of Robin and The Hoods faces an existential threat. Despite their best efforts, their protests fall on deaf ears. When their parents can't see the forest behind the trees, Robin and his friends take matters into their own hands to defend their kingdom.
