Canyon loves bull riding, but the sport doesn't exactly love him back. Doctors have warned him about his repeated concussions, but bull riding is the only thing he and his dad connect on since Canyon's mom died. Canyon is convinced winning the Junior World Bull Riding championship will be the thing to bring them together again, that once he has that shiny belt buckle all the pain will be worth it. Besides, Canyon has a way to help his hurt: playing the fiddle.

When Canyon is chosen for a music competition show, a new dream begins to form. But Dad is getting worse, and Canyon feels more pressure than ever to hold his family together—even if it means choosing to hurt himself bull riding over healing through music. But is Canyon holding on to all the right things? Or are there some he needs to let go of?
