A spoiled, troublemaking city kid is ripped from his easy urban
life at a college prep boarding school and forced to spend his
summer working on a Montana ranch during the turbulent 1960s. He
makes mistake after mistake with the valuable equipment, his fellow
hired hands, and the stock-keeping Roy teetering on the edge of
being fired. First love, Laura, the rancher's daughter, is a
16-year-old's dream come true. Instead of hitchhiking home Roy
keeps trying - slowly coming to terms with what he was and what he
wants to be. Roy finds acceptance and finally even respect from the
rancher, his family, and the other hands. Out West is a coming of
age story about how a boy learns to be a man during a
self-awakening forced by hard work, responsibility, and the love of
a good woman.
