Heartland is a horse farm nestled in the hills of Virginia, but it's much more than that. Heartland is a place like no other - a place where the scars of the past can be healed, a place where frightened and abused horses learn to trust again.

With Ty in the hospital, Amy is struggling to keep up with the chores and stay positive. Then a new horse arrives - a wild mustang. He has a beautiful, independent spirit. Amy has always had a sense of how to approach strong-willed horses. But this one is different. He isn't angry or misunderstood. He is proud. When Amy watches him gaze into the distance, she wonders if he was meant to be free. And when he defies Amy's attempts to reach out to him, she starts to doubt everything - including herself.
