A boy is told that his father was once a brave and virtuous man, a soldier who traded his life to save lots of the lives of countless others. He was once the man that Hunter had to emulate. The one problem is the entire story is a lie, all of it. The truth, which Hunter discovers as he begins his sophomore year of highschool, is that his father has in reality spent the boy’s entire life in jail, paying his debt to society, but not mending his ways. A wild mustang mare is rounded up by the BLM. The spring rains had been sparse, the forage at the plains much more so. The mare and her herd are rescued from certain starvation and placed for adoption. In a sandy corral at Promise Ranch, a home for troubled teenage boys, the boy and the mare meet. A weathered, old cowboy brings them together – a mentor for one, a trainer for the other. The bond that forms between boy and horse becomes one that saves the lives of both.
