Cole, a throwback to the Old West, appears to be waging a one-man war on a whole range of fools in a state where some folks take Norman MacLean literally. As Cole discovers, the twentieth century is fast encroaching on a world where no one ever tells anyone what to do. But the focus of his outrage and ill temper is one Bruce Tipton, a smooth developer who (to quote Cole) not only "thinks the sun rises and sets in the crack of his ass," but is also determined to introduce a fenced park for "wild buffalo" right next to his home. Tipton's chicanery and venality find their match, and more, in Cole's stubbornness and profanity.
Set in Montana the story revolves around a reticent but articulate teenager who spends his fourteenth summer, remanded to the not so gentle care of his profane and outrageous grandfather, Cole, who seems to be waging an unsuccessful one man war against a whole army of fools.
