In the bittersweet summer of 1958, two young brothers discover the true meaning of family love and friendship. With their parents needing a break from a troubled marriage and a budding arsonist youngest son, Mike and Jimmy are sent north to Wisconsin to stay with their maternal grandmother, a widowed tavern owner.
