A brother and sister escape their abuser and struggle to find purpose and love in West Texas. Texas, Early 1900s In 1916, 14-year-old Luke O'donnelly took on a man's responsibility when he and his 12- year-old sister, Naomi, fled their abusive brother-in-law. Before leaving, Luke deems to kill the despicable man but spares his life in exchange for $500 and three of his best horses. Luke and Naomi strive together for two years to earn enough money to buy land for a place of their own. Barely started, their dreams shatter, and the two must move on. Leaving his sister in nearby Castroville with a minister's family, Luke has no choice but to head west to the Sycamore Creek Ranch. He works searching for stray cattle and horses amid the inhospitable terrain and venomous snakes found along the Rio Grande River. There, he falls in love with a Mexican girl, promised to another man. Left behind to fend for herself, Naomi toils, dreaming of a day when she and Luke will unite to fulfill their dream of owning land and taking control of their destinies. But a chance at love forces Naomi to choose between her dreams and her heart.
