The Son of Bigfoot

HairCo. is a megacorporation led by Wallace Eastman, Terrence Stone, that markets cosmetic hair enhancements with an almost gleaming confidence. Its pursuit of progress collides with a scientist named Dr. Harrison when Eastman’s helicopter gives chase, only for Harrison to vanish by leaping into a river. That desperate moment kicks off a ripple of events that will rewrite a family’s future.

Twelve years later, Adam Harrison, Pappy Faulkner as Adam Harrison, grows up in Portland with his mother, Shelly. Life at school isn’t easy: he endures the taunts of a few bullies, yet there’s a genuine, quiet warmth in his bond with a kindhearted girl named Emma. As days pass, Adam begins to notice uncanny changes that feel almost like wonders slipping into the ordinary. His toes push out of his shoes, his hearing sharpens to a piercing pitch, his vision slices through the world with surprising clarity, and the hair on his head stubbornly returns after Shelly cuts it away in a sudden, almost magical moment.

Driven by a box Shelly has kept hidden, Adam learns something else that seems almost too fantastical to believe: his father is alive, and he’s not just anywhere—he’s deep in the forest, living as a creature who has learned to blend with the wild. The revelation spurs Adam to search for him, and his journey unfolds with a mix of courage and longing. A truck driver named Fat Dan, who nearly hits him during a crucial moment, captures a piece of this encounter on film and publishes it, drawing the attention of HairCo. and its formidable plans.

Adam’s world expands in more extraordinary ways as he discovers he is not alone in his gifts. He possesses superhuman traits that echo his father’s own legacy: extraordinarily large feet that grant him remarkable speed when he runs barefoot, supersonic hearing, heightened vision, rapid healing, and an ability to communicate with animals who become loyal allies in his quest. Among them is Tina, a clever red squirrel who chats with him, Trapper, a mischievous raccoon, and Weecha, a bear with a family, along with Wilbur the bear and Steve the woodpecker. The forest becomes a living chorus of support, a network that helps Adam navigate this confusing new reality and keep moving forward even when danger closes in.

Eastman learns of the sighting and zeroes in on the forest, sending guards to search for more proof and to capture the mysterious figure who could derail his hair-obsessed ambitions. Shelly, determined to protect her son, heads into the woods to join Adam, but she’s soon seized by Eastman’s forces. Adam, too, is captured and used as bait to lure the elusive Bigfoot, who has cared for the family from behind the trees. The capture sets off a chain of events that pulls everyone toward HairCo.’s hidden strength and the darker impulses of unfettered ambition.

Within HairCo., a scientist—Dr. Billingsley’s intern—tests a hair sample drawn from Adam’s world-changing lineage. The result is a bizarre mutation: the intern begins to grow hair everywhere, an eerie sign of how the experiment might ripple through the entire facility. This moment crystallizes Eastman’s dangerous resolve: if he can harness this DNA, he could rewrite humanity’s future. Adam, with the help of his animal friends, infiltrates HairCo. to reach Bigfoot. When Eastman tries to shepherd Adam away, chaos erupts as the facility’s alarms blare and the building fills with toxic gases.

In a bold, desperate gambit, Adam convinces Bigfoot to break free, and together they orchestrate a daring escape. They also release the facility’s internal danger in a calculated move to destroy HairCo.’s control room. Back at home, Shelly—under watch by guards—unraveling the truth about Adam’s hair regrowth and his connection to Bigfoot, takes bold action. She subdues the guards and pledges to rescue her family, proving she’s no longer a passive bystander in a crisis of this scale.

The confrontation between Eastman, Adam, and Bigfoot on the facility’s edge reaches a fever pitch. Eastman demands Adam, but the bigger threat emerges as Adam leverages a flare gun found inside HairCo. The flare’s ignition, synchronous with the release of toxic gases, triggers a cataclysm that brings the facility to its knees. Bigfoot is left unconscious, and Adam—remembering the extraordinary gift that makes him who he is—pulls out all the stops to heal his father and bring him back to life. Shelly, steady and fierce, tranquilizes Eastman, and Bigfoot comes to terms with an end to his years of hiding.

With HairCo. in disarray, Bigfoot returns home to a transformed life, while the forest’s animal residents join Adam’s family, turning their quiet world into a shared sanctuary. A magazine cover later proclaims Eastman’s arrest for illegal experiments and breaking laws that stitched danger into the company’s fabric. The future appears brighter, but the story ends on a note that stays true to its heart: Adam’s journey has changed him deeply. On the way to school, he faces his old tormentors again, but this time he stands tall and unafraid. He tells them he’s done being hunted and, with a quiet, kind confidence, asks for space to walk his own path. When his animal friends intervene to scatter the would-be bullies, the moment feels both triumphant and intimate. Emma looks on as Adam—feet finally bursting free from the stubborn shoes—steps forward barefoot, ready to walk beside her as the world reveals a gentler, braver future.
