Riley Thomas is feeling stuck-she's moved from California to Nebraska, she's on a weeklong Oregon Trail family bonding excursion, and her luggage is lost. There's no one her age on the trip except a tall, dark and irksome cowboy who wrongly assumes she has zero ability to handle the great outdoors. She can't wait for this misery to end-even though going "home" isn't even possible anymore.
