Mitch is a middle-aged radio advertisement salesman living in New York City, grappling with a mid-life crisis and feeling disconnected from his job, family, and himself. In search of adventure and a deeper sense of purpose, Mitch, along with his two friends, Phil and Ed, decide to take a break from their routine lives. The trio sets out on a two-week vacation to the southwest, intending to participate in a cattle drive. What starts as a holiday aimed at finding fun and excitement quickly turns into a journey of self-discovery for each man.

Upon their arrival, they are introduced to Curly, a tough, seasoned cowboy who serves as their trail guide. As the cattle drive progresses, the challenges of life on the trail begin to test the men in ways they never expected. They confront not only the physical demands of driving cattle across vast landscapes but also personal fears and insecurities. This experience forces them to come to terms with who they are and what is truly important in their lives, setting the stage for profound personal transformations.
