Official Synopsis:

"Armed with nothing more than twigs, their imaginations 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 starts dangerously blurring the lines between make-believe and reality.  Rocks = Grenades.  Trees = Control towers.   Sticks = Submachine guns.  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 warriors 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."
