In the spring of 1908, Jess Stone discovers the track of an enormous deer, and with the eagerness and rashness of youth, is quick to pursue the trail. It is a trail that is to lead the 15-year old son of New Mexico settlers across a picturesque turn-of-the-century landscape, and through the hills and valleys of calamity, disappointment, responsibility, young love and ultimately, to the very threshold of manhood. Torn between the lure of maturity and the security that has been part of his childhood, Jess finds the path is sometimes uncertain and that the burdens of adulthood are not always desirable. But, through all of his experiences in this eventful year, he finds great reward in blossoming relationships and in the self-discovery that is born of ordeal.
