_______________________

Native American pop star Avery Fox has become a national joke after a misjudged photoshoot leads to the entire internet dubbing her a fake. With threats coming from every direction and her career in flames, she escapes to her estranged grandmother Lottie's ranch in Oklahoma.

Lucas Iron Eyes has called Red Fox Ranch home since he was sixteen, and he lives by three rules to keep himself out of trouble: 1) preserve the culture, 2) respect the horses, and 3) stick to himself. But when he's tasked with picking up Lottie's granddaughter at the bus station, the last person he expected to see is the Avery Fox.

Lucas can't stand what Avery represents, and it's clear she doesn't belong there, but with the ranch's survival at risk, Avery and Lucas are forced to form a tentative truce and make a deal: Avery will help raise funds to save the ranch, and in exchange, Lucas will show her what it really means to be an Indian. It's purely transactional, absolutely no horsing around... but where's the fun in that?
