Chicago, 1933.One boy. One can. A city full of secrets.

Ivor Fink is just seven when he starts the Kicking Can Club with a gang of kids on the South Side of Chicago. But what begins as a simple game quickly unravels into something far bigger and far more dangerous. In the shadows of speakeasies, jazz halls, and crumbling tenements, cans begin to carry messages, codes, and warnings.

And someone is always watching.

As whispers of STACEY echo through graffiti, theatre curtains, and missing names, Ivor finds himself drawn into a world of secret networks, vanished girls, and the glamorous glow of stars like Mae West whose jail cell might just hold more answers than the streets.

From dust-filled theatres to red-bannered rooftops, The Can Wars is a vivid, cinematic tale of memory, mischief, and the quiet children who see everything.

Some cans carry echoes.

Some carry codes. Some carry ghosts.
