Description
Waspy New Englander Sarah Livingstone, on a training run along a Scottsdale cottonfield, collides with Native American sculptor Jimmy Zah and his big lab Joe. The dogs have a furious dust-up. Annoyed when a hysterical Sarah accuses him of letting a fierce dog run free on a public path, Jimmy retorts that she is trespassing on his reservation land. A few days later Jiummy rescues Sarah and Yo Yo from the waters of a fast-moving canal. Despite their inauspicious beginning, they learn they're both training for the New York Marathon. Slowly their relationship builds around the goal of the race. When they begin to realize they're falling in love, Sarah's parents come to town. Her mother is appalled that her daughter is serious about a Native American man. Sarah wavers. Uneasy now, she backs away. Jimmy is offended and heartbroken. He breaks off with her, now sure their cultures are too different for her to overcome. From Phoenix to an Indian Pow Wow, Navajo and Pima reservations to the New York Marathon, Jimmy and Sarah struggle with the difficuties of a multicultural relationship.
