After his father suffers a debilitating stroke, Jim Bob Johnson returns to the Johnson family ranch, in the southwestern United States, which has been in the family for three generations. The ranch also has oil wells, and the management of these falls to Jim Bob. His father returns home and cannot do any work. He is still mad at Jim Bob for going off to college. Jim Bob stays, in spite of his father's anger towards him.
Jim Bob is thrust into taking charge of both the ranching and oil business.
Shortly after his return, Jim Bob runs into his old girlfriend, Lillian. Although they have a rough time getting reacquainted, they soon reconcile their differences and make plans to get married.
But will Jim Bob and Lillian stay in Ochoa to raise the next generation of Johnsons? Can they keep up with the demanding pace required to operate a ranch?
