This is not a West of cowboys and gunslingers. It's a grittier, hungrier place-where a 15-year-old girl is driven off her land by claim-jumpers, where pumpjacks rise in fields cattle once grazed, where two young women ranch alone in the vast landscape, bucking their femininity for fear of the roughnecks prowling their property, and an ageing country music star chases a dying myth on a luxury dude ranch.
As the land is steadily poisoned-by drilling, fracking, and drought-friendships fracture, alliances harden, and survival becomes an act of love as much as endurance. At the heart of it all is the decades-long friendship between Meg and Brooke, two women whose lives remain fiercely intertwined as the ground shifts beneath their feet during the major life events of their teens, twenties, and thirties.
Gritty, sexy, and fiercely original, ONE TRICK PONY is a Wyoming epic braided from six generations of betrayal, resilience, and savage grace. It's a Yellowstone that actually smells like cow shit, the wild little sister of Brokeback Mountain, with glimmers of Cormac and of Station Eleven. Above all it is a love letter (and elegy) - full of heart - to a dying American landscape.
