B., a former rock musician and professional clown, utilizes a philosophy of loving respect to help the campers. His estranged elderly mother lives in an abandoned wildlife sanctuary nearby, under threat from unscrupulous developers.

Because sometimes, when life deals hard problems, you can regain your confidence, and with trust and hope, build a better future.
