What to expect
drovers of the Circle K ranch will have to battle the elements, wild animals, rough terrain, and dangerous
people to get their longhorn herd to their destination.
The drovers of Circle K ranch have to drive the herd of beautiful longhorn cattle five hundred miles northwest
to Missouri if they hope to make it through the next year. Toby Bishop, a jack-of-all-trades and drifter, will have to
work with the mixed group of drovers, whether they are white, black, Hispanic, lifelong cowboys, drifters, or shamed
preachers. On the trail, drovers must set aside their differences in favor of a common goal.
As they go north, Bishop finds himself tested: physically by the rigors of the trail; and mentally, by the grim
memories evoked by the violence necessary to protect the herd. But if they are to make it all the way to St. Louis, he’ll
have to call on every skill and ounce of knowledge he’s acquired in his checkered and violent past to overcome the
unexpected obstacles threatening the drive.
