You should read the book instead of asking this.
But if you really need to know, Holden Caulfield, the main character, decides he does not have any dreams or aspirations to be a classic adult, that is, settle down and have some pups and work a factory job. The only way he feels he can make a difference in the world and help humanity is to play bodyguard on a rye-field he made up in his own head. In this dream-place, there is a rye field atop a cliff, and there are children playing in the rye-field. Because of the innocence and obliviousness of the children, Holden fears they would just run right off the cliff whilst playing, and his dream job would to be The Catcher in the Rye(field) so no children would get hurt.
Seriously, just read it, it's a very short book.
