A young college student, Cassie, comes back from her school, and comes back to her family's ranch, which is like a little vet for thoroughbred horses. But, not wild horses. Especially Mustangs. But, when Cassie finds a beautiful black, and extremely wild horse, which she calls Flicka (Flicka means beautiful young girl), her dad calls a wild horse trainer to take the horse away. But, what will Cassie do? Will Cassie let them slaughter the horse, or will she redeem herself and get back the one and only horse that she loves?
