Mitch, John and Frank, dysfunctional buddies, attempt to chase down the bad guys in Western South Dakota. Mitch works at the First National Bank in Spearfish, South Dakota. The bank has never been robbed in its one hundred year history until now. The Black Hills Trail Ride – fun, horses, food and all the liquid refreshments you can drink – is disrupted when Mitch finds a bank customer with his buddy Frank’s knife in him.
A wrinkle in the bank’s insurance policy leaves the bank exposed for all the losses. If the loot isn’t recovered, the bank may have to close. Can the gang find the bad guys before it is too late? Mitch’s ex-wife and his new romantic interest may get in the way.
The fabric of small town life weaves its way through the stumbling detective work of Mitch and friends. The guys have to ask the ladies for help. Will the ladies save the day?

Greta talks computer code and Laurie trains horses. Judy may be the only normal one of the group. They all pitch in for a surprise ending.
