To save time and money, Heartland Ironworks hastily approves a plan to carve out a new factory access road through a stand of old growth oaks. Fourteen year old Madison Weber gets wind of the plan and enlists her fellow Girl Scouts in an effort to save the trees. As Autumn in Troop 822 offers, "What's the big deal? We scrounge our way to the park, rally to stop the oak killers, then lickety-split back to class." But all hell breaks loose: the truck heist, the weird bikers who thunder on in, the cops, and the ugliest bad-ass thunderstorm ever to hit Iowa. On the spot media coverage blows up the small town face-off into a state-wide sensation For five spirited Girl Scouts, life begins spinning wildly out of control.
