Cody Hale is a Texas rodeo cowboy, 21 years old, and full of the fire one sees in a young man with his whole future ahead of him. But that fire is drowned out in one eight second ride on a bull called The Widow Maker. When Cody is finally able to walk out of

the hospital, it is with the full knowledge that he will never ride in a professional rodeo again. Cody takes the advice of his Uncle Tuck and heads for the Pacific Ocean, which he has always wanted to see. But before he can get there, his truck breaks down in the California desert. He is picked up by a quiet man named Billy, who, along with his wife Anita, introduce Cody to the rich world of Country Clubs and high living, and the fast paced game of polo. That’s when Cody first meets Jessie, the beautiful daughter of a millionaire real estate mogul, and fiance of an even richer polo star. Cody must decide for himself where his heart lies, and whether or not the love of a girl above his class is worth risking his health for, while Billy and Anita deal with their own fragile

dreams, and a troubled past which has finally caught up with them.
