Set deep in the Scottish Highlands, Boyz In The Wood is an anarchic cocktail of generational politics, hip-hop loving farmers, and hallucinogenic rabbit shites.
Dean, Duncan and DJ Beatroot are teenage pals from Glasgow who embark on a character-building camping trip—based on a real-life program—known as the Duke of Edinburgh Award, where foraging, teamwork and orienteering are the order of the day.
Eager to cut loose and smoke weed in the Scottish Highlands, the trio finds themselves paired with straight-laced Ian, a fellow camper determined to play by the rules. After veering off-path into remote farmland that’s worlds away from their urban comfort zone, the boys find themselves hunted down by a shadowy force hell-bent on extinguishing their futures.
