Hear the music of a singing cowboy--who almost becomes Roy Rogers--as he finds love with a hat-wearing, quirky lady. Their coming-of-age stories converge, revealing lives honed by life-threatening hardship in the flatlands of Texas, the high plains of New Mexico, and the green hills of the Arkansas Ozarks. In an unlikely "Land of Opportunity," their young sons rise, and Black & Kiddo turn weathered hands to new work, heartened by the long arc of dreams.
