A young Native American bareback horse racer, Sharmaine, dreams of becoming a champion. It's been a year since her sister was paralyzed in a catastrophic accident on the track. Sharmaine quit racing to care for her. In the remote Wyoming wilderness of the Wind River reservation, Sharmaine and her girlfriend Savannah begin to build a life for themselves. But the young lovers are forced to leave for the industrial Commerce City, Denver. The city brings freedom and opportunity, but also distractions and a strain on their fledgling relationship. When racing season starts up, Sharmaine and Savannah hit the road and put it all on the line. With a new horse from her city earnings, Sharmaine sees the potential for a fresh start. But life, like the race track, doesn't always go according to plan.
