Marc Chapman is the mini golf world champion. He seeks to claim his third consecutive championship on the most brutal course in mini golf against a set of bloodthirsty rivals. Nerves of steel, a ruthless mentality ,and the graceful, deadly swing of a genius-madman are required to be crowned once more as King Putt.

In Britain, ancient treasure is being stolen in the dead of night. Those that steal it are known as ‘Nighthawks.’ John is a Landowner. Shane has been branded a Nighthawk. This film chronicles the battle for the ownership of history.
The score is a tangle of folk percussion, cello, theremin and Carnyx (ancient Celtic warhorn) to represent the eclectic history of East Anglia and the ironic nature of the film. The final cue is an original arrangement of Jerusalem.
