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.

Странная компания и присоединившийся к ним неудачливый ковбой Пирс отправляются в горы на ранчо, чтобы "как в старые добрые времена" объезжать диких невадских мустангов...
