Michael Terry is a best-selling writer/therapist who is tired of his high-profile life. He decides to take a couple of days off and go to his ranch. That is when he comes up with the idea to use it as a place for troubled teens. The teens come to the ranch, do all sorts of chores, and learn the value of honesty and friendship. He is assisted by ranch caretaker Fox, who can be cynical at times with Michael; First Nation member Vic, who is an expert at tracking; and C.C., who used to be a top chef at a restaurant in Montreal. While in the city, he is sometimes assisted by former gang member Pin, and police detective John, who sees Michael as more of a deterrence, and social worker Rachel.
