Life isn’t easy for 10-year old Ricky - his cooler, bigger,
brother Micha, who just dropped out of school, is always
giving him a hard time.Together with his friends Dennis and
Justin, Micha uses every chance he gets to makes Ricky’s
life miserable. Their parents’ business is also in trouble,
and with emotions running high, Micha’s conflicts with
his father threaten to boil over. Things change when the
tough and headstrong girl Alex and her huge mastiff Loco
move to town. Micha has the hots for her, but she plays
very hard to get, so he gets Ricky to spy on her for him.
In return, Micha agrees to protect his little brother from
his two bully friends. Ricky befriends Alex and passes on
valuable information to Micha about her. Ricky finally again
has the long-wished-for closeness to his brother, who at
some point stopped needing him as a playmate. But he also
starts to feel a special kinship with Alex, and even shows
her his secret retreat, a huge tree with an unfinished tree
house in the middle of a cornfield. Soon, however, Ricky
must decide where his loyalties lie. With his brother? Or
with the girl who could very well be his first true love?
Not even the Chinese novice monk, Xi Lao Peng, who
exists only in Ricky’s imagination and who is there when
everyone else has abandoned him, can help him. When
Micha finds out Ricky lied to him, tempers flare. And when
the relationship between Micha and his father, who have
the same temperament, once again takes a turn for the
worse, Micha decides to run away from home and forces
Alex, who hates her new hometown, to go with him.
