When 12-year-old Seth is left without a home, he must go to live with his grandparents on a farm in Utah. Being a city kid, life is tough, getting up before sunrise to do his chores and having responsibility of learning to drive a stubborn old tractor. But adventure beyond his wildest dreams awaits the boy.
A rogue grizzly bear attacks and kills the neighbours sheep, so Seth's grandfather fears that his own family's livestock will fall victims to the marauding predator. Seth and his grandfather decide they must ride together by horseback, into the high mountain country, to round up their grazing cattles before the ruthless grizzly finds them.
However, when Seth's grandfather is attacked without warning by the giant bear, Seth must confront man-sized danger to save his injured grandpa.

Annie Jacobs is a tough, aggressive but disciplined and smart girl from the village. She possesses many skills essential for life in the countrysides. She can ride a horse, drive a tractor and skillful with her morning chores. Although she is initially tough and stern, Annie eventually warms up to the new-guy-in-the-block, Seth Murdock. Annie has two loving parents, a farmer and a housewife, who she is fond of.
When Seth arrives at the farm, Annie at first appears intolerant and easily infuriated with Seth's lack of knowledge about rural life, but slowly and easily, she begins to teach him the ways of the new world, and predicatably begins to develop a romantic interest for him. Annie begins inviting Seth over for lunch, and she was present at Seth's grandmother's death. She comforts Seth after his loss.
Seth, too, has feelings for Annie, evidently after he fantasizes of saving her from a big bear while going out hunting with his grandfather. Eventually, the two act on their feelings and share a kiss towards the end of the film. When it is revealed Seth has to move away with his grandpa, Annie gives him a sorrowful goodbye, and begins to cry.

Mary first steps into a film set in Long Road Home. However, her film debut, sadly, is inadequate. There goes the biggest understatement of the year. And it's only May. Probably because I have grown out of my kiddy milieu, but I do not find this film the least bit entertaining. Although the synopsis might appeal to a child, but the horrible acting (sorry, Mary) and over-excessive usage of schmaltz really puts the film at the bottom of the barrel. The dialogue may, at times, be amusing, but that's it. But, hey, it is Mary's first film. We forgive you.
