The male protagonist is a music traveler who travels between cities on a freight train. His purpose is to come to Ogden to find two music friends, (one of whom is a friend named Cowboy, but he has never appeared in the movie. , from the Cowboy's wife and actor, you can learn: Cowboy's previous achievements and love for music, and he did not find a balance between life and music, and he was away from his family and lost contact.) Then in Porter Lan goes to a folk concert and ends up in Texas to record an album with the retro band that his friends formed. The heroine is not strictly a single mother, she is filing for a legal divorce from her ex-husband, and he/they has a girl, Leah (Emily Arlene Lind), who looks better than children of the same age In the adult world, it is difficult to find the shadow of a broken family in her.
