To fight for the rights and respect of others is not always an easy path—especially where the heart is concerned.

With his life in tatters, Vietnam veteran Richard hits the road hoping to find work where he can forget his past and leave his demons behind. He finds work on a rundown farm owned by a woman with two children whose husband is away at the war.

Rebecca struggles with everyday life, including an overbearing father-in-law, a retired army officer, the Major, who objects to Richard’s being there and wants him gone. Things are not what they seem as Richard soon learns and the marihuana crop he discovers while repairing fences leads to further drama. In the midst of this, a love affair develops between Rebecca and Richard, adding more problems to his growing list.

Cattle agistment and crop harvesting go hand in hand for the cowboys sent to collect both, but danger looms, and before threats can be fulfilled, Richard decides to act. The demons return and in a fiery conclusion which sees the crop destroyed, the cowboys on the run, and Richard in a life and death situation and in need of answers…

Where is Rebecca? Is she, along with the children, safe? Has he once again been fooled and betrayed by a woman?
