When your life falls apart, couldn''t you just be someone else? Especially if that someone else was you all along anyway? Seventeen-year-old Chrissy Taylor is orphaned to a stepmama who squandered their sizable inheritance on drinking and drugging. Now, with their ranch lost, they squat in a run-down, rented trailer on the outskirts of small-town-podunkville where Chrissy cares for her nine-year-old half sister, Luce. But landing on the wrong side of the tracks puts them on the radar of the local sheriff and social services. There''s one saving grace to losing everything and moving away. Nobody knows her. Chris can now live who he truly is. As Chris Taylor, he knows he''ll have to cowboy up to make enough money to keep his stepmama out of jail and his half sister out of foster care. There''s only one way a kid growing up in the shadow of a world champion bull rider can earn that kind of cash. But Chris never expected to chase a championship title of his own, even with a lifetime of training on bulls.
