mother impulsively decides to leave him for the summer with his eccentric grand-uncles, Hub
(Robert Duvall) and Garth (Michael Caine). Walter isn't especially happy about being left in the
middle of Texas with two old men, while Hub and Garth aren't too pleased to be stuck minding a
boy, especially one who isn't accustomed to hunting, fishing, or firearms. When Walter starts
hearing local gossip about his uncles' wild and wooly pasts, he begins asking a few questions,
and while Hub and Garth don't enjoy having the boy poking into their pasts, as they start telling
tales of their youthful adventures, they find themselves itching for some new adventures in their
lives. Soon Walter is a semi-willing accomplice as his elderly guardians rediscover the wild,
impulsive spirit of youth.
