A nostalgic coming-of-age story set in the Old West. Young Allen North leaves his family's ranch to set out on his own. While working as a ranch hand, he learns what it means to have a mentor, make friends and battle bad guys, and is lucky to discover what it means to fall in love. But first he has to prove himself by not letting an ornery old horse named Alice get the better of him. Outlaw Simon Blackburn, who finds trouble wherever he goes and known for shooting his victims in the back, is on the trail to find and kill Allen after a gun fight that left his two cattle-thieving brothers dead...then he meets Alice.
