"The Wood" is a coming-of-age comedy-drama about three childhood friends - Mike, Roland, and Slim - growing up in Inglewood, California. In 1999, on the day of Roland's wedding, Mike (Omar Epps) gets cold feet. To calm him down, Roland (Taye Diggs) and Slim (Richard T. Jones) take Mike on a nostalgic journey through their old neighborhood ("The Wood").
