Synopsis

A young man ready to venture out and leave small-town monotony behind him, spends the summer between high school and college working on a ranch in Texas. He builds new friendships and memories that will last a lifetime and finds himself captured by an unexpected romance that makes it difficult to say goodbye to a summer that he will never forget. Inspired by the hit song from Garth Brooks, this story pays tribute to many of the songs beloved by the author during his formative years.
