The movie revolves around the life of Jack McCann, a former bull rider who has seen better days. Once a champion in the rodeo circuit, Jack has now found himself struggling to make ends meet, struggling to cope with the injuries he sustained from his years in the sport. Jack's current predicament is precarious; he owes a significant amount of money to an unyielding loan shark, Joe. Joe, an intimidating figure with a reputation for being merciless to those who fail to pay their debts on time, has threatened to harm Jack's loved ones if he doesn't pay up by the end of the week. Jack knows that with his injuries, he can't ride professionally anymore, and the fear of not being able to provide for his family has become a constant weight on his shoulders. One day, Jack receives an unlikely offer from an associate of Joe's named Alex. Alex approaches Jack with a proposition - if he agrees to steal two high-stakes roping horses from a rival rancher, Jack will gain a temporary reprieve from his debt. With a promise that he won't have to face Joe's wrath if he gets the job done successfully, Jack is left with little choice. He must decide between giving in to his desperation and succumbing to a life of crime, or finding a way to escape the situation and make a new start. As Jack embarks on this treacherous journey, he meets a cast of complex characters. There's Alex, whose motivations for helping Jack are multifaceted and intriguing. Jack's interactions with Alex raise questions about how deeply he can trust the man, and whether his intentions are genuinely altruistic, or if he has ulterior motives that Jack is yet to discover. Moreover, Jack forms a bond with a local ranch hand named Lily, who becomes his confidante and guide in navigating the world of horse theft. With a kind and empathetic demeanor, Lily takes Jack under her wing and teaches him the ways of the horse world, as well as the code of honor that governs it. Her presence becomes a beacon of hope for Jack, reminding him of the values and respect he once had in his rodeo days. However, as Jack becomes more entrenched in his new life of crime, he is forced to confront the moral implications of his actions. Jack's participation in the horse theft leads him to cross paths with his former rodeo rivals and acquaintances, who begin to suspect that something is amiss with Jack's behavior. His reputation begins to tarnish, and Jack is plagued by guilt and self-doubt over the choices he has made. As tensions build, Jack finds himself entangled in a complicated web of loyalty, duty, and deception. In his efforts to repay his debt and escape Joe's clutches, Jack must resort to increasingly desperate measures. The lines between loyalty and betrayal become increasingly blurred, and Jack is left to wonder if he will be able to find his way out of the chaos he has created. In a gripping climax, Jack must decide where his loyalty truly lies and how far he is willing to go to achieve redemption. Will he be able to break free from the cycle of debt and find a new path in life, or will he succumb to the pressures that weigh him down?
