"Someday things will be ok. Someday we'll both be happy. Maybe we'll share that happiness together, maybe not. Someday you'll have the job of a lifetime taking care of horses, maybe at the rodeo or maybe at your own ranch. And meanwhile I'll be doing God knows what. But no matter what happens, somehow, some way, someday, I will make all this up to you." After Tyler Johnson's girlfriend of three years cheats on him, he starts reevaluating the current state of his life. He is 22 years old, still lives at home with his dad, and has no real ambition in life. When an old friend offers him an opportunity of change in California, he takes it and makes the trip from Wisconsin, in hopes of proving to himself that he does have a reason to be alive. Tyler gets stuck in the middle of Missouri, but gets the help of a kind stranger, whose family changes Tyler's life.
