'Seven Days in Utopia': What's It About?
Lucas Black stars as Luke Chisolm, a young golfer with his sights set on PGA Tour success. He finds himself in contention at a tournament only to suffer a very public disaster. Unable to deal with the pressure, his confidence shattered, he retreats from the spotlight and winds up in tiny Utopia, Texas. There he meets eccentric rancher Johnny Crawford, played by Robert Duvall. But Johnny, it turns out, it just what Lucas needed. The rancher imparts his profound way of looking at life to the young golfer, helping Lucas see things in a different light. Lucas is forced to confront his past choices, and his plans for the future.
