Clay Stevens desperately wants to reclaim his grandfather's land, using the latest techniques to bring water to the arid landscape.

Lacey is convinced the ranchers and the lobos can co-exist—until Clay's nephew and his friends cause a landslide that injures some of rare Mexican wolf pups. Now if Clay and Lacey want any chance at the bright future they've envisioned, they'll have to work together to heal old wounds and reconcile community factions.
