Stix is a young man who's just trying to make his way. Nearly five years ago he'd lost his first job when he was caught in the barn with the farmer's son. He counted himself fortunate to have found work at the Lazy E Dude Ranch and Winery in rural Westburg, Texas. What's more, Stix has always known he was different. Horses and leather are all he's ever known and loved but he craves something more.
