This time his actions have landed him in a situation where he's facing the juvenile hall.[3] But as his saving grace, a foster mother Kristin (Sherri Shepherd), with her son George (Jahbril Cook), visits officer Mark (Ed Amatrudo) handling Will's case and Will gets to choose between juvie and a summer camp. Will ends up choosing the camp and from there he starts quite a journey. When he reaches there, a girl named Avery (Bailee Madison) catches his eye. George and Will share a cabin and there Will finds out that George likes a girl named Presley (Kat Conner Sterling). Will makes a deal with George that he’ll help the latter with Presley if George helps him with Avery. At night all the campers attend The Tribunal to compete in the camp’s war games. [4] After the truth about his situation starts to surface among the campers, Will leaves the camp. Avery drives after him and tries to get him to return without succeeding. He struggles with the thought of there being a loving God after what happened to his family. In the end, Will decides to return to the camp and he and Avery share a moment and a kiss together.
