[SYNOPSIS]
Roman Coleman is an inmate at a Nevada State Correctional Center which hosts a forward-thinking Wild Horse Therapy Program. The program has Mustangs captured and brought to prison to be tamed by inmates stationed there.
When Roman finds his cellmate dead, he is offered a new chance at freedom by Linda Dean, the victim’s grieving relative and legal representative. In exchange for a reduced sentence, she asks Roman to join the program to collect information she seeks regarding the mysterious death of her brother. After accepting the offer, Roman is immediately discouraged and wants out, but Myles, a former inmate who created the program convinces him to stay. Roman eventually forms a deep bond with the horse as he prepares it to be sold at a public auction but as Linda applies more pressure to keep up his side of the bargain. Roman begins to realize that he is not ready to be released back into society and ultimately reveals the true nature of his crime.
