What starts out as a one-night stand ends up changing two men forever.
Joaquin Almodovar has been disowned by his family and shot by a mad man. To say that he's had a few bad months would be an understatement. When he finds out he can't be the vaquero he's always been due to the extent of his injuries, Joaquin is even more lost than ever.
He might be the best-lookin' man at the Mossy Glenn, according to Hector and the others, but that doesn't make Joaquin a man at all. Not when he can't cowboy up like he used to. Learning that there's more to him than the job he's always loved isn't easy, and Joaquin's not a hundred percent certain he's up to the task. In fact, he's lost so much faith in himself that he doesn't know what or who to believe in anymore.
Time heals all wounds, the saying goes, but it sure doesn't seem to be doing much to heal Joaquin. It'll take the help of a man he shouldn't trust to learn that there's more to himself than how well he sits a saddle, and how good he is with a rope.
