Summer war games between neighborhood kids turn deadly serious when jealousy and betrayal enter the mix.
Armed with nothing more than twigs, their imagination and a simple set of rules, a group of 12-year-olds engaged in a lively game of Capture the Flag in the neighborhood woods start dangerously blurring the lines between make-believe and reality. Paint-filled balloon = Grenades. Trees = Control tower. Sticks = Sub-machine gun. The youthful innocence of the game gradually takes on a different tone as the quest for victory pushes the boundaries of friendship. The would-be warrior get a searing glimpse of humanity's dark side as their combat scenario takes them beyond the rules of the game and into an adventure where fantasy combat clashes with the real world.
