Our story takes place in the fertile, San Joaquin Valley. Fueled by gin
and sheer determination, Elizabeth James (Ms. Liz) operates her third
generation dairy farm outside the region's domineering co-ops. To help
keep the place afloat, she's employed five renegade ranch hands. These
boys have put a pin in responsibility and opted to stretch out the party
as long as possible. Unfortunately, women, booze, and fisticuffs can
only lead to one outcome: trouble. With the dairy farm reporting its
third straight deficit year, Ms Liz is attracting some unwanted
attention. Delbert Furgeson, the owner of the area's largest co-op, is
pushing to buy her out. This only incenses the prideful Ms Liz and
starts a volatile feud between the two. Sharing the narrative are the
ranch hands. Randel and Rooker Lee are brothers caught in the crossfire
of their parents' separation. Leslie Williams and Jackie Remmington are
aspiring musicians, trying not to get caught up in their own success.
Wade Kitchanski is at ends with his father, striving to find his own
path outside the family paint business. As the boys struggle to find
direction, Ms Liz and Delbert Furgeson launch into a full-blown war.
When the dust settles, we realize it's not simply a story about winners
and losers or finding your way. It's about purpose: to find what you
believe in, through change, through loss, even if it's the small things.
Then hold on to it and fight for it, because in the end that's all you
have.
