Description

In the heat of the Revolutionary War, two teenage cousins from Virginia find themselves thrust from farm life into the perilous world of espionage. When a daring raid by British forces rattles their small town, they hear of the “Minute Boys” – youthful volunteers sworn to act at a moment’s notice in defense of liberty. Determined to prove their patriotism, the cousins set out to gather vital intelligence, risking capture and betrayal along a rugged, war‑torn landscape.

Their journey introduces them to a colorful cast of allies and adversaries: a cunning local spy named Morgan, a grizzled mentor known as Uncle ‘Rasmus, and an unexpected prisoner whose fate hangs in the balance. As the boys navigate secret tunnels and tense confrontations, they discover that courage often comes in small packages, and that the line between hero and traitor can be startlingly thin. The story captures the restless energy of youth caught in history’s storm, inviting listeners to feel the pulse of a nation on the brink of independence.
