1884, Texas. Ro, a domestic worker, and Prophet, a cowboy, are in love. They dream of owning their own land and leaving the Bailey Family Ranch behind to build a life together. But when the ranch prematurely falters, and the cowboys go on strike, Ro and Prophet are pulled in opposite directions as they fight to keep their vision of the future from crumbling to dust. Set at the tail end of the Cowboy Golden Age, Last Drive to Dodge examines race, love, and legacy in a time when everyone is scrambling for their piece of the American Dream.
