It's 1998, and life in Pinto, a small town nestled in Texas Hill Country, proceeds pretty much as it always has. While the big, wide world spins around them, the residents of Pinto continue with their daily trials and triumphs, doing the best they can in the place they call home.
Like any small town, Pinto has its share of characters.
The Reverend Hobgood leads the flock at the local Baptist church, while Clayton, the village idiot, and Kyra Lynn, the town bad girl, keep tongues wagging.
Down at the Single Star, Pinto's watering hole, Quinton Xavier Coleman uses a pool cue to deal with a troublemaker taunting him about his failing relationship with his socialite wife back in Dallas.
And across town, mysterious newcomer Kelli Hawthorne visits WT's, the local café owned by Willard Thoroughgood. Kelli guards the secrets of her past carefully-and masks her true feelings for the still-married Quinton.
In the background, national news events parade across the television and the front page of the local newspaper, inviting discussion, speculation, and many strong opinions among the good citizens of Pinto, Texas.
