Rancho Deluxe Plot Summary
What happens in Rancho Deluxe from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 14 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
Jack McKee and Cecil Colson are a pair of young, restless rustlers whose thrill-seeking hides an undercurrent of boredom. Jack has walked away from his wealthy family and his wife Anna, while Cecil is marked by his Native American background. Together they rustle cattle, slice them up with a chainsaw, and settle debts with fresh meat instead of cash, a routine born more from ennui than necessity, and it hums with a casual, reckless confidence that draws the eye of the town.
