A troubled teenager named Ray (played by Jerry Reed), who is caught stealing a car and is sent to a juvenile detention center. After his release, he returns to his troubled neighborhood in Philadelphia. Ray's life takes an unexpected turn when he encounters a group of African American cowboys known as the "Concrete Cowboys."
The Concrete Cowboys are a close-knit community of horse enthusiasts who defy the urban environment by keeping horses and maintaining a stable in the heart of the city. The group is led by an elder cowboy named Colonel Graham (played by Geoffrey Lewis).
Ray is initially hesitant but is drawn to the sense of belonging and purpose that the Concrete Cowboys offer. He forms a bond with the group, learns about horsemanship, and becomes passionate about caring for and riding horses. The film explores the subculture of urban cowboys and their unique way of life.
As Ray gets more involved with the Concrete Cowboys, he experiences personal growth and finds a sense of belonging that he had been missing in his troubled past. However, the film also delves into the challenges faced by the group, including neighborhood tensions, financial difficulties, and legal disputes (1979).
