With blue-tipped hair, black nail polish and multiple piercings, Clay (Sam Huntington - Superman Returns, Fanboys), is out-of-place in his small Texas community. Bitter over the death of his Father, the angry seventeen-year-old invites trouble by acting recklessly, committing vandalism, aggravating his friends, and ignoring his teachers. His grandpa, Buster (Barry Corbin - The Closer, One Tree Hill, Northern Exposure), decides to pick up the reins, and break this rank colt. Buster, the tough-as-leather county sheriff, uses cowboy logic and tough love tactics to straighten out his angry grandson. He gives Clay a choice: Face the judge and take his punishment of possible jail time, or go on a 60 mile, survival boat trip down the rugged Pecos River - where he just might discover what he is really made of.
