Story

Adrian Goldston is born with a blood disease that causes him to not be able to adequately absorb and process enough vitamins and minerals from his food to keep him healthy. His father is a scientist working for the government and is an avid golfer. He often takes Adrian golfing with him and lets him ride in the golf cart because he is too weak to walk the greens. His father notices that he is always energized by the atmosphere of the golf course. When he is 6 years old his father begins doing research into plant photosynthesis and discovers that there is an extremely rare plant that is closer to human DNA than any other plant in the world. He begins secretly developing this plant in hopes of getting it close enough to human DNA that he can create a serum that will allow photosynthesis to take place in humans. He collects DNA from every species of plant available and combines it with the serum from the main plant and perfects his formula. One night he sneaks Adrian into the government lab where he works, gives him the shot of plant serum and sits him inside of the machine that uses a special light to activate the plant DNA inside his body. But when a guard comes into the room his father is forced to hide and Adriane is overexposed to the light. When the guard leaves his father rushes him out of the machine and towards the exit. But they are spotted by the guards and his father is shot in the back as they run through the bushes. Adriane transforms into a bush and watches as his father is pronounced dead on the scene. He is forced to keep the secret of why his father died for the rest of his life. After his father’s death the serum has the desired effect and he grows unusually healthy and strong. He keeps his ability to transform his body into many different plant species a secret from everyone including his mother. He begins playing golf as a means of coping with the tragedy and reliving the memories of being with his father on the golf course. Then he becomes good enough to become a professional golfer and he dedicates his career to the memory of his father. He becomes the #1 golfer in the world.
