Dakota (Lou Diamond Phillips) is a troubled teen on the run. He takes a job on a Texas ranch to work off his debts.

He also starts to fall for the rancher's pretty daughter Molly (Dee Dee Norton). Eli Cummins plays Walt Lechner, the kindly rancher who not only gave Dakota a job but a home with a loving family.
