Montana cattle rancher John Alexander is a strong-minded individual and a man of few words. Because he’s land-rich but cash-poor, he grudgingly accepts an offer from a production company to use his land as a film location. Though it’s good money, the tough rancher doesn’t trust that the Hollywood film crew will treat his land with the respect it deserves. Alexander holds onto a deeply traditional vision of his world just as the film’s director, a creative urbanite named Fabian, maintains his own vision for his film. Both men are hoping for the best: Alexander wants to save his ranch, and Fabian wants to be catapulted to the next 'it' filmmaker.
