When Flick McGregor's sister asks her to sell her half of the family farm, she figures she has nothing to lose. After all, she's been running from the place and the memories it holds for years; filling the void with beer, boys and her beloved horses. Returning to arrange the details of the sale, she discovers that the wild horses blamed for the death of their younger sister have moved down into the valley, and their lives now rest between those who want them slaughtered, and those who want to use them for their own profit. But then Flick meets Eddie, a young man unlike any she has ever met, and together they hatch a plan to save the horses from a terrible and certain fate.
