Driven by a burning desire to prove her worth in a male-dominated industry and to salvage her family’s legacy, Cheyenne arrives at the dusty, remote site determined to turn the unprofitable venture around against all odds.Upon her arrival, she quickly realizes the magnitude of the challenge before her. The equipment is ancient, the finances are in total ruin, and the rough-around-the-edges local crew is deeply skeptical of her leadership. Among them is Jack, a rugged, seasoned foreman with a cynical streak and a mysterious past. Initially, Jack clashes with Cheyenne, viewing her as an out-of-touch outsider ill-equipped for the brutal realities of the oil fields.
