Directed by Xavier Koller, the film follows Hank (Kiefer Sutherland) and Ely Braxton (Marcus Thomas) who are brothers and rivals. Hank is a rodeo clown who breeds bulls; Ely is a brash young rider who won't let anything -- not even life-threatening injuries -- keep him out of the ring. When rodeo sweetheart Celia (Daryl Hannah) gets between them, sibling rivalry grows volatile and loyalties are tested.
