This is a grandiose portrayal of dynamic personalities beset by life's unbending policy not to grant excuses, pardons, or favors based on net worth.
Angela, a recently widowed mother, and her son Tony (a near carbon copy of his business-legend dad) share the respective leadership roles of the ranch and the oil company. Angela was the steward of highly guarded family secrets that were rapidly complicating their relationship.
A life-changing affair forces a reveal of some of Angela's long-harbored family secrets. Tony's worship then began a gradual decline to respectful tolerance and eventual resentment.
The ultimate clash and crash of two A personalities result in a contentious demise of family and corporate distinction.
