Соблазнительная и печальная, Розлин специально приехала в городок Рино, чтобы развестись с мужем. В местном баре Розлин и ее приятельница Изабель - неунывающая дамочка преклонных "средних лет", специалистка по разводам - знакомятся с двумя ковбоями. Гэй и Гвидс - мужчины с большим жизненным опытом тоже одинокие и неприкаянные. Они странствуют по Неваде в поисках случайного заработка, и горячий ветер пустыни, суровая мужская дружба, тяга к виски, мальчишеская влюбленность в родео и недостроенный домик вдалеке от города - это все, что у них есть. Богатством, которым ковбои обладают, они готовы поделиться с Розлин, которая ищет верности и настоящего человеческого тепла. Странная компания и присоединившийся к ним неудачливый ковбой Пирс отправляются в горы на ранчо, чтобы "как в старые добрые времена" объезжать диких невадских мустангов...

Дэвид и Ева прожили вместе 47 лет, и весьма несчастливо. Их любовь выцвела, словно окраска их дома. Дэвид хочет продать их жилище и переехать в дом престарелых.
