The Will'ven't Bin

<p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>During the Great Depression Martin a 12-year-old only child and resident of Nashville Tennessee has lost his father to polio and his mother has become overbearing. She hires a World War One veteran Seth to dig up a section of hedge in order to clear the way for a driveway she wants to put in on her property.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Unbeknownst to her Seth suffers mental illness from his experiences during the war. When he harms Martin's beloved dog Fritz and drives the pet away the boy has had enough loss and vows to get his pal back. </span></p><p></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>He goes against his mother's wishes and sets out to find Fritz an odyssey that takes him into dangerous unfamiliar territory close to home. Searching along the creek that runs through the local woods he finds a community of hoboes has cropped up in a small valley.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>No ordinary hobo camp this one is run by a power-hungry man named Rex. The hoboes are mostly World War One veterans dissatisfied with the way the U.S. government treated them during and after the war. Under Rex's command they form an insurgent group wanting to take over the United States of America. To subsist they rob local farms and households. Yet their true goal is to find a mysterious cache of futuristic weapons and technology hidden in a place referred to only as the Will'ven't Bin.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Trying to steer clear of them Martin runs into Seth. He seems regretful about mistreating Fritz and offers to help find the dog in return for Martin's help finding the Will'ven't Bin.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>In answering Martin's questions about the Bin Seth says Rex tells us that once we have enough people and what's in the Will'ven't Bin we'll be able to take over and give Americans a better life. I believed all that tommyrot until I couldn't any longer. I was part of Rex's community until they killed a friend of mine a black man who saved my life during the war. I left. Now I want to stop him.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Can a boy of twelve and a mentally ill veteran do anything against such organized crime?</span></p><p></p>
