Dean and his friends have created an entire
world in the woods behind their suburban housing development. In their army
fantasy, they’re at war, and Dean is the daring captain leading his troops
through episodes of intrigue and danger. But no fantasy can last forever. A
run-in with a homeless man in the woods snaps the boys back to reality, and
little by little the real world pervades their imagined universe and drives them
apart.
