Meet schoolboy Will Proudfoot, the [[Cloudcuckoolander|eccentric]] but kindhearted son of the [[Hot Mom|beautiful widow Mary Proudfoot,]] who has a vibrant imagination that could conquer the world. A pity it's suppressed by the fundamentalist sect the [[wikipedia:Plymouth Brethren|Plymouth Brethren]], which has entrapped his family for generations. The only outlet for his creativity is an old bible, which he uses to collect a series of elaborate drawings. .

In spite of their differences, Will and Lee are brought together by a mutual love of cinema, and end up remaking ''[[Rambo|First Blood]]'' with nothing more than a cheap camera and a makeshift movie-set. By the end of the summer, [[Odd Friendship|they become the best of friends.]]
