Plot

The story centers on the Coates brothers, Tully and Earl, who live on their father's ranch in rural Nebraska. Their mother abandoned the family when the boys were young. Tully is very outgoing and has relationships with many women, including a stripper named April. Earl is more of an introvert.

Ella, a childhood friend of both Coates brothers, comes back to town to start a veterinary practice. Ella appears to have more in common with Earl, as she is reserved and not the typical woman that Tully dates. Yet, they start a relationship.

The elder Coates, Tully Sr., clearly misses his wife and as the film develops, his financial problems worsen. It is eventually shown that his financial problems are due to his wife's medical bills (he never got a divorce). Tully Sr. dies ambiguously. The film's climax shows how the brothers and Ella react to this tragic event.
