Rodney Kent (Todd Tetreault, "Papa") was once a rodeo icon, breaking records and bones with equal glory. But after a near-fatal accident, his life spiraled into a decade-long haze of bourbon and bitterness. Now an aging recluse in a sun-scorched house frozen in time, Rodney spends his days avoiding mirrors, memories, and meaning. But when he stumbles across a forgotten box of letters from young rodeo students he once coached, including a heartfelt gift, he is forced to confront what he's thrown away. With nothing left to lose, Rodney walks back into the ring, not to chase fame, but to make peace with the ghost he's become.
