A coming-of-age Western about a romantic dreamer discovering the harsh realities of frontier life, built on the tension between idealized fantasy and gritty truth.

Chicago hotel clerk Frank Harris dreams of life as a cowboy, and he gets his chance when, jilted by the father of the woman he loves, he joins Tom Reece and his cattle-driving outfit. Soon, though, the tenderfoot finds out life on the range is neither what he expected nor what he's been looking for...
