March, a 14-year-old boy, knows everything about trees. Given a choice, he wouldn't talk about anything but trees and would do nothing but climb them. Trees were his passion, but it was a passion that not everyone understood. Neighbors called the police because he was climbing trees, and the state threatened March's mother that if he continued to get hurt climbing trees, it would take away her custody rights. However, March still couldn't resist the temptation of the dense Pacific Northwest forest at his doorstep. One day, March desperately discovered that the huge "eagle tree" was going to be chopped down by developers. He decided to do whatever he could to save his beloved tree. He began to seek help from everyone around him, including relatives, classmates, and even the neighbor who looked sad all day long. He had to overcome his own psychological barriers to speaking in public and learn to communicate and cooperate with others. In the process of striving to transcend himself, March gradually sees his place in the world and realizes his connection with the world.
