Synopsis

Gordie, Chris, Teddy and Vern are four friends of 12 years old who spend their time in their club playing cards, reading comics and doing things of kids 12 years. But his life is turned upside down when Vern arrives at the club saying he has heard his brother say they had found the body of a missing boy. Thus the four friends decide to go in search of the corpse, telling their parents that each are sleeping at home of others, the plan is to follow the train tracks, camping in the woods and find the body before his parents realized that they are not. What it seemed to be a simple trip to see a cadaver and return, will become an experience that the four boys will remember the rest of their lives, giving meaning to the word 'friendship'.
