Dave Simon, M.D., is a self-centered, money-hungry, atheistic doctor who neglects his wife and two children. He takes his horse to ride in a remote area on the Arizona desert. When they are caught in a shale slide, Dave has a concussion and the horse breaks a leg. Near death from heat stroke, Dave finds a spring that saves his life. Unable to travel during a record heat wave, he survives on his meager knowledge of desert survival and the help of a friendly coyote pup. Alone in the desert, he learns to find himself and God.
