More Detail:
Olivia has just received news that her best friend, Amber, has gotten engaged and will be leaving their life together in New York City, to join her fiancé on his ranch. Selfishly, Olivia doesn’t want her best friend to go and simultaneously doesn’t think Amber will be able to handle the ranch life.
In order to prove her point, Olivia creates the bachelorette celebration around a working dude ranch trip for Amber, herself and their friend, Justin. From the second they arrive, it becomes more than clear that the city kids are out of place. Amber and Justin both are shocked to hear it’s not quite a vacation, and they will all be put to work.
Happily, all three friends are determined to give the ranch work their all. Maybe some more than others. . . . Travis and Kat, two of the ranchers, are not super thrilled to have city folk joining them, and it takes a while before they warm up to Amber and her two friends.
All three city friends have a slightly tough time adapting to this new environment, but Olivia seems to catch on the quickest, which surprises Travis and opens his eyes. Travis starts to realize he shouldn’t be so quick to assume things about people. Also, Amber and Justin are learning a thing or two about themselves as well!
While things seem to be going well, the trip is coming to an end, and it feels as though everyone is ready to return to life as they know it. Although she’s been inspired by her visit, Olivia thinks it’s time to get back to the city. Although Travis has had his eyes opened, he believes he’s ready for real life on the ranch again – without any visiting vacationers. Even Amber is second guessing moving to a ranch.
Will everyone give change a second chance? Or, will they resort back to what they know for fear of the unknown?
