After getting out of prison, Ray Dokes returns to the struggling country town he left behind. Though two years may have passed, none of his problems seem to have changed. There's an ex-girlfriend (Lisa Ray) he still pines for, a female jockey (Rachel Leigh Cook) with a chip on her shoulder, and the town rich-kid (Noam Jenkins) who helped put Ray behind bars.
