The young TS Spiev was born on a remote ranch in Montana. He has a brilliant brain and loves cartography and scientific illustration. He invented the perpetual motion machine at the age of ten.

His father is an avid cowboy fan, collecting everything about western cowboys; his mother is a Ph.D. in biology and devoted himself to insect research; his sister is the most ordinary normal person, with many girlish dreams, participating in beauty contests.

TS originally had a fraternal twin brother, Layton, who died in an accident last year. Although the family has not brought up the accident, TS Spivey has been deeply remorseful for the incident.

His designs for perpetual motion machines were awarded the Baird Prize at the World Science Awards, and he was invited to speak in Washington. He packed up and started the journey.

According to the plan, pick up a truck. The RV on the van has become a nice shelter for him. Driving through cities, experiencing a strange journey, and missing my family. The first to help him was a homeless old man. They had dinner together, and the old man told him a legend about the pine tree.

Arriving in the city, he escaped the police.

He hitched a ride to his destination. Take a photo with the kind truck driver.

He came to the Smithsonian, made up a tragic story, and the director decided to allow him to give a speech.

In his speech, he talked about the death of his younger brother, which was also the biggest knot in his heart in the past year. The younger brother and his father have common hobbies and have a great talent as a cowboy. He did ballistic research so they could play together, only to kill his younger brother when the bullet jammed.

His speech was a success, and the head of the academy felt it was a good topic of hype. Take many interviews for him and teach him how to respond to the host's questions.

The show host's self-talking questions made TS a little at a loss. The arrival of the mother has debunked the lies that TS told before about the death of both parents.

Mom's remarks also solved TS's heartbreak. Everyone is responsible for the accident. Who took the gun as a birthday present for the 10-year-old child, and who let the two children play with guns in the barn and didn't guardianship. And the family members also use different ways to resolve their sadness. My mother devotes all her attention to insect research, and my father vents his anger with wild goats. But things have passed, and a new life has to go on.

Mom took TS out of the studio. These occasions were only for curiosity and ratings, which were not suitable for a 10-year-old child. Dad also came to the scene to relieve them.

The family returned to the ranch to continue their lives. Mom still keeps burning out the bread maker, and Mom and Dad still get into trouble with each other over their own interests. But each family member loves each other.
