Eric is an orthopedic surgeon volunteering his time with the Justin Sports Medicine program, traveling the rodeo circuit two months out of the year. Underneath it all, though, he's a cowboy at heart and not just because he was born and raised in Texas. He's a cowboy at heart because Ben Greene, champion Saddle Bronc rider, owns his heart.
They haven't put words to what they're doing, even though they've been together for almost a year. But when Ben is bucked off during a ride, resulting in a season-ending injury, both these cowboys might have to finally acknowledge what they have and what they mean to each other.
