Successful commodities trader Michael Cromwell (Tim Allen) is engaged to marry Charlotte (Lolita Davidovich), but first he must finalize his divorce with his estranged wife, Dr. Patricia Cromwell (JoBeth Williams). Michael leaves New York and travels deep into the Amazon where Patricia has been living since she left him, and gets the surprise of his life when he discovers he has a thirteen-year-old son, Mimi Siku (Sam Huntington), who has been raised among tribesmen. When Michael takes Mimi Siku to New York, cultures collide when Mimi Siku, who has more skill with blow darts than with social graces, comes to the most sophisticated city on the planet and wreaks comical havoc on his father’s life.
