Eric Martz's documentary reveals how the positive values of the old West are flourishing on the troubled streets of East New York, Brooklyn, via a group of modern-day wranglers who convene daily at the Cedar Lane Stables, where respect for life is taught through horsemanship. It is their mission to pass down the legacy of black cowboys to inner-city youth. The stories of these cowboys -- ranging from 16-year-old Mikey, whose delinquent life has been transformed through his discovery of the stables, to 90-year-old Ben, a former rodeo champion who rode with Will Rogers -- are a force for good in a tough urban neighborhood that has seen more than its fair share of the bad and the ugly.
