On sabbatical, rodeo entertainer Lyndie Leigh Sessoms strikes out on her quest to find a real life, riding the coattails of a wildfire into Kansas where she rescues trampled rancher Burk Crosby from the ashes. Drawn together in a cascade of heart-wrenching events, they work selflessly to counter damage from the wildfire and resurrect the rural community around Ashland. Small-town kindness combines with widespread generosity in the wake of the fire, but a greedy siphon infiltrates the distribution site, casting a dark shadow of suspicion over the recovery efforts. To salvage their blossoming affection, Burk solidifies the ranchers to force the siphon out of hiding with a trap—but Lyndie never suspects that she’s positioned as the bait. A late-arriving warning leaves her nowhere to do not trust anyone in Ashland, Kansas.
Based on the true story of the Starbuck fire of 2017 that ravaged western Kansas–
and area ranchers who demonstrated vulnerable resiliency in its aftermath.
