Plot

Jordan Donovan (Teri Polo), a photographer from New York City, is set up with Tyler Ross (Andrew McCarthy), a Wyoming rancher, after her boyfriend fails to commit. It is arranged by her closest friend in NYC, and his sister through want ads in a magazine.

Jordan flies to Wyoming to meet Tyler, his sister Laurie and her fiancée. Although neither one is initially convinced (Tyler is initially put off by Jordan's city slicker attitude and she senses his hostility), they find themselves drawn to each other.

Jordan is quite a skilled horse-rider, having frequently exercised other people's horses with her father in Upstate New York when she was young. His hostility is an anger at the world and lack of closure for his wife who died with his unborn child in childbirth.

They bond through their shared love of horses and their passion for protecting the wild mustangs on and around his property.
