Lauren is the head cheerleader and daughter of the town’s sheriff. She is the girlfriend of the cocky quarterback, Reid Collins, and seems to be leading a happy life. However, all she wants is to leave this small town behind and make it to the cheer team at UT Austin. This desire puts her at odds with her father, who wants her to stay in Ransom.

Lauren must navigate her father’s strict desires and her own ambitions to make her dreams a reality.

Cap is known for his salty attitude, and only Ellie, a fallen comrade’s daughter, can keep him in check.

An Ivy-educated owner of the modern Bar W Ranch. Unlike Kirkland, Davis is more interested in making money by utilizing the valuable aquifer beneath Ransom’s ranchland.

Davis and Staten both have romantic feelings for Quinn O’Grady.

Ellie Estevez

Ellie is tough and whip-smart. Ellie is the personification of “Do no harm, but take no shit.”, specifically from resident curmudgeon Cap, whom she looks after. Ellie’s young, hungry, and driven to make her mark in Ransom Canyon. Ellie has no interest in settling down with a romantic partner, at least not yet, which is why she’s a bit thrown when she crosses paths with mysterious newcomer Yancy. 

Jack Schumacher

Yancy Grey

Charming yet enigmatic. Yancy is a drifter with a secretive, troubled past. No one knows much about this newcomer, and Yancy would like to keep it that way. But Yancy’s past catches up to him as he fights to hide it from Ellie, Cap, and the town he’s starting to call home.

Garrett Wareing

Lucas Russell

While struggling to provide for his family by working at the Double K Ranch, Lucas Russell is always on the outside looking in. He’s determined to achieve a brighter future than Ransom Canyon has to offer, and he’s got the mind and work ethic to propel him there. This mindset aligns perfectly with head cheerleader Lauren’s desire to leave Ransom, and the two find that may not be the only desire they have in common.

Andrew Liner

Reid Collins

Toeing the line between confident and cocky, Reid Collins seemingly has the perfect life as the star quarterback of Ransom High, head cheerleader Lauren’s boyfriend, and heir to the Collins family ranch. He was devastated when his cousin was killed in a car accident but doesn’t let that stop him from living life to the fullest as a 16-year-old with nothing to lose. Behind the arrogant exterior, though, lies a caring, emotional boy eager to be loved and with a secret that’s haunting him.
