Professional rodeo cowboys travel a year-long circuit of rodeos, hoping to grab their share of fame and fortune. A two-week period leading up to Independence Day is informally dubbed "Cowboy Christmas" due to the numerous rodeos held during this time, with a combined purse of over $3 million. The documentary follows four steer wrestlers as they travel over 2,000 miles in eight days, discussing injuries, driving, horse care, and the mental game they play to win.
