The Sinking of Santa Isabel

The Sinking of Santa Isabel

It's not a treehouse . . . it's a tree home

2008 · 88 min · ★ 3.0 · Comedy

With no job and no relationship -- and no prospects for either -- twentysomething Webster (Maclain Nelson) opts to start over. He heads to his childhood home and climbs up a tree, where he plans to stay the entire summer in a house of his own creation. Not surprisingly, Webster captures the attention of his neighbors, who soon find that they have a stake in his mission as well.
