Synopsis of the show: Mary, always late and always married, meets a lady cowboy named Red who teaches her how to ride a horse. Red exudes a taste of freedom that Mary didn’t even know she lacked, and is suddenly desperate to find. Late, a Cowboy Song, is the story of one woman’s education and her search to find true love outside the box.
