A young man's dream of being the best cowboy at the best ranch is tested by something he never expected: his love for a married woman.
In 1917, 19-year-old Charlie Kelly lives with his family working a ranch outside Fort Sumner, New Mexico. But Charlie is tired of fixing everyone's problems, especially the ones his father creates. Charlie wants to become a "top hand" at the world-famous Miller 101 Ranch in northern Oklahoma. When his father shoots a man in Fort Sumner, forcing the Kelly family to leave New Mexico, Charlie decides the time is right to head out on his own.
But the road to becoming a cowboy at the 101 Ranch takes unexpected twists and turns, and Charlie encounters a major detour when he's hired by Jasper Blackaby to work in his general store in Elmore City, Oklahoma. Being a clerk was never something Charlie wanted, but when he meet's Jasper's young wife, Susan, Charlie instantly falls in love. As Charlie and Susan begin a torrid affair Charlie begins to wonder where his destiny lies. When tragedy strikes, Charlie heads on to pursue his dream at the 101 Ranch, and struggles to keep his relationship with Susan burning, while she is pursued by another man. As Charlie's star rises at the ranch he must face his latest challenge, winning the approval of Susan's father for her hand in marriage.
