Grace Bichon, who is managing her father Wyly King's riding-stable, discovers that her husband, Eddie, deceives her with another woman. After confronting him in the middle of the night on the streets of their small home town, she decides to stay at her sister Emma Rae's house for a while to make up her mind.
