For 14-year old Walter, his great uncle's farm in rural Texas is the last place on earth he wants 
to spend the summer. Dumped off by his mother, Mae, in the middle of nowhere with two crazy old 
men and the promise that sheâ'll come back for him, Walter doesnâ't know what to believe in. 
Eccentric and gruff, Hub and Garth McCaan are rumored to have been bank robbers, mafia hit men 
and/or war criminals in their younger days. The truth is elusive, although they do seem to have 
an endless supply of cash. But Walter begins to see a new side to his great uncles when he stumbles 
on an old photograph of a beautiful woman hidden away in a trunk and asks Garth who she is.

==========

"Secondhand Lions" follows the comedic adventures of an introverted boy left on the doorstep of 
a pair of reluctant, eccentric great-uncles, whose exotic remembrances stir the boy's spirit and 
re-ignite the men's lives.

==========

A boy named Walter is dropped by his mother Mae at his great-uncles' house. Later,Walter will find 
out his great-uncles' big secret. And rumors say that Hub & Garth, Walter's great uncles, have stolen 
much gold & money. (some say they stole it from Al Capone) Did they really steal that money or not?

==========

13 year old Walter has had a hard life, with his no good floozy of a mother getting together with 
many equally despicable men. Before going on yet another husband-hunting trip, she drops him off 
at the house of his great-uncles Hub and Garth. They disappeared for quite a while in their youth, 
and are rumored to have acquired a great fortune, which Walter's mother hopes to get her hands on 
if he can ingratiate himself enough to the two cantankerous men. Though reluctant to put up with 
him at first, Hub and Garth grow to accept Walter, and even tell him fantastic stories of what 
they were up to while they went missing. When his mother returns, Walter must take charge of his 
own life, and decide what he's going to do with it.
