Daniel is looking to turn his life around. After the death of his outdoorsy father, he decides to leave his job as an 28 photographer and find greener pastures, which leads him to Seyda Ranch in Wyoming. He thinks things can’t get worse after his boyfriend dumps him over this new venture, until his truck breaks down before he even makes it to his new cabin. Help arrives in the form of Seyda Ranch’s most trusted cowboy, Cole, a handsome young man with a kind heart. As Daniel spends more time with Cole, he wonders if his streak of misfortune has finally ended. But fate has one more cruel trick to play, and Daniel will need all the luck he can get to survive it.

If buyers didn’t ascribe that meaning to it, Daniel could always say that’s why he took the pictures in the first place, then he could call it art and he knew suddenly someone would have to have it.
