After trashing her neighbor's house in a fit of youthful defiance, 14-year-old Kris (Amber Havard) seems destined to follow in her mother's footsteps to the state penitentiary. To make amends, she is forced to help Abe Turner (Rob Morgan), an ex-bull rider scraping by on the Texas rodeo circuit, with errands at home and at his work. While traveling with Abe, she discovers a passion for bull riding. Yet, as Kris sets out to learn the dangerous sport, bad influences lure her back into delinquent ways. Meanwhile, Abe struggles with aging out of the only life he has ever known. Together, Kris and Abe forge an unexpected connection, and attempt to right their own paths before it’s too late.Programming descriptions are generated by participants and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of SXSW.
