Siamo alle fine degli anni Sessanta sulle rive del Mississippi. Stephen è tornato dalla guerra in Vietnam e non riesce ad avere un lavoro stabile. Il figlio Stu, sua sorella ed i loro amici trascorrono l'estate costruendo una casa sull'albero e imparano le loro lezioni sulla guerra e la pace in un conflitto con una banda di ragazzi vicini, i bambini Lipnicki, che cercano di distruggere ciò che hanno costruito.
