Summary
Jackson, an 18-year-old Seattle grunge kid hooked on screens and secrecy, is unceremoniously dumped at Montana’s Broken Spur Ranch by his corporate mother, Lydia, for a summer of “character-building” labor. Awaiting his reclusive cousin Elliot, he’s stunned to encounter Mel—tall, curvaceous, rodeo-fresh in sweat-soaked satin and fringe, the cousin now thriving as a transgender woman—and her welcoming mother, Evelyn. Amid sun-baked chores, enigmatic horses like playful buckskin Seb and imperious black-bay Titan, dusty corrals, and 4 a.m. barn whispers, Jackson wrestles family riddles, his growing obsession with Mel’s magnetic allure, and the ranch’s primal, unspoken pulse. Rebellion and curiosity ignite a journey of raw self-discovery, intimate surrender, and hard-won belonging beneath Montana’s merciless sky.
