TV cowboy Nash Remington (not his real name) was born and raised in Pistol Creek, Kentucky. Well, not really. He had a distant cousin (twice removed!) who went to Pistol Creek High for a few semesters (before getting expelled for truancy, that is). But that’s about as big as his connection to this small Kentucky town goes.

All the same, his TV studio is turning it into a big deal (renewal season, anyone?), having Nash open up the new Guns A Blazin’ Arcade in Pistol Creek’s newest, high-falutin’ strip mall, the Galloping Galleria. Along for the ride is his browbeaten publicist Chet Forrester, who’s worked his way up from mail room clerk at Wild West Studios in sunny Burbank, California, home to Nash’s hit TV show, Smoking Guns.

Chet has arrived in Pistol Creek ahead of Nash and his entourage, meeting with Grady Palmer, a realtor for Palmer Properties (well, intern is more like it) whose firm manages the new Galleria and is helping coordinate its Grand Opening. Both Chet and Grady are in way over their heads, but with plenty of youth, pluck and enthusiasm, the two twenty-something rookies do their best to pull off the Grand Opening without a hitch. But can a big city publicist and a small town realtor open their hearts as well??
