A lighthearted action-comedy built on fish-out-of-water charm, where a gruff Texas Ranger learns to connect with young women while protecting them from danger.

Texas Ranger Roland Sharp is assigned to protect the only witnesses to the murder of a key figure in the prosecution of a drug kingpin -- a group of University of Texas cheerleaders. Sharp must now go undercover as an assistant cheerleading coach and move in with the young women.
