Two young brothers' lives are turned upside down when their new alcoholic stepfather enters their world and begins to beat young Bobby. Devoted to their mom, they come up with their own solution and attempt to build a working airplane from their ordinary red wagon. In the process, they transform their own lives into an extraordinary adventure.
The story tells of two imaginative young boys who take refuge from an abusive stepfather and a neglectful mother by creating an elaborate fantasy world.
