God, Country, and the Cowboy Way
PEACE RIVER is the story of a young Champion Rodeo Cowboy turned Special Ops Soldier
who is crushed by war and personal loss. He must draw on “The Cowboy Way” and a
profound faith to recover the will to live and the love of his life. Casey Shane, a
fifth-generation New Mexico rancher, is raised by his grandfather (Pop), a WWII veteran, who
pours his life’s love and wisdom into Casey. Learning the ways of the cowboy alongside his
childhood friend, Maria Martinez, Casey is a championship-caliber bull rider. Casey and
Maria form a romantic bond before Casey enlists in the U.S. Army and joins the elite Special
Forces. Immediately following the events of September 11, 2001, Casey is deployed to
Afghanistan where he is wounded as he fights alongside the Northern Alliance. Returning
home, Casey must draw on the lessons he learned from his Pop to recover the will to live
and the love of his life.
