Often times in life we need more than a second hand up, third hand ranch is a small sheep farm where a nurse and her husband decide to open up their home to four girls. Rebecca dreads reading articles about young girls on the verge of suicide due to bullying so she takes charge to invite a few young teens for a school year away from their social nightmares in order to come work with some horses and experience a world away from some of the nastiness that petty girls can exude. Each girl comes with their own troubles and with time they come to learn what it's like to get to open up and trust other girls their own age. Banjo is the lovable farm dog that is as mischievous as he is sensitive and caring but with open hearts and willingness to learn how to filter out negatives the girls learn better ways to handle others for their futures.
