Roughneck Stories

Ever wanted a quick glance into the day to day lives of the oilfield workers and their families? Here are a few funny and sometimes not so funny descriptions of their jobs and lives.

Roughnecks follows JT Fuller, a blue-collar Oklahoma golden boy raised on football, oil fields, and Friday-night lights. Groomed to follow his father's legendary path from high school hero to college star, JT walks away from the only future his town understands when injury and grief strip the dream bare. What he's left with is a guitar, a dive bar called The Apple, and a voice he's never dared to trust. Caught between the grit of roughneck life and the pull of country music, and torn between two women who represent opposite futures, JT must choose who he is when the cheering stops. Set against oil rigs, honky-tonks, and small-town expectations, Roughnecks is a story about hard choices, inherited dreams, and finding your soul when you give up the name everyone knows you by.
