Based on a short story by E. Annie Proulx, this is set against the sweeping vistas of Wyoming and Texas and centers on two young men (Ledger and Gyllenhaal)- a ranch hand and a rodeo cowboy - who meet in the summer of 1961. Unexpectedly, the two forge a lifelong connection, with complications, joys and tragedies that provide a testament to the endurance and power of love. Williams would play Ledger's wife, Alma, who has to deal with her husband's secret love.
Hathaway plays the strong-willed ex-rodeo queen wife of Gyllenhaal's character, while Quaid will play the hard-bitten foreman who employs the two cowboys.
