Dodging bulls is dangerous; dodging bullets is deadly. Virgil Kidder returns to Waco after years away, taking a clown‑on‑the‑rodeo job, only to find his old troubles closing in faster than a Brahma bull. Country star Dwight Yoakam debuts as Kidder, a “painted hero” who feels safest when taunting the toughest bulls. When the paint wears off, real danger erupts during a wild Waco weekend packed with thrills, spills and twists that rival an eight‑second ride.
