In this adventure comedy, three elementary schooler best friends (Teddy, Molly, and Winston) spend their time in a ramshackle fort they built in the forest. They live in a fantasy world and believe they are great warriors whenever their parents are not around: Molly becomes Mollius the Mage, Teddy becomes Teddius the Thief, and Winston becomes Winstonius the Warrior. They spend their days telling tales of their conquest and defending their fort (which they imagine to be a great castle) and the treasure within it. All of their major decisions are made by The Oracle, an entity that exists in their fantasy world that utters prophetic wisdom. In real life, however, this oracle is just Molly’s headlice.

One day, a middle school bully (Garret, who becomes Gar the Golem in their fantasy world) approaches their land and threatens to take everything from them. Our three heroes are forced to create a master plan (with the help of The Oracle) to defend their fort against Garret (and Molly’s lice against Molly’s Mom and the Lice Remover) or else their fortress will be lost.

Scenes will cut seamlessly between reality (the child actors dressed in silly costumes) and the children’s fantasy world (21-23 years olds playing their imagined warrior counterparts).
