Lisa Rayborn (Natasha Henstridge) returns home after her mother's death. Despite their father's (Lawrence Dane) misgivings, her brother Jim (Harry Hamlin) has turned the family business from a cow farm to a sheep farm. Lisa stays on the farm to help out. She adopts a border collie from the local animal shelter and names it Lucky. When a strong rainstorm ignites a forest fire, Lucky rescues rescue trapped children and takes them to safety. Lucky gets burned while doing so, and she may not be able to compete.
