Rebuilding tells the story of a cowboy named Dusty who loses his family ranch to a wildfire and ends up in a small FEMA-run camp in the American West. The last in a long line of ranchers, Dusty is stuck between a rock and a hard place--the history of his land and the changes to it. He reconnects with his young daughter and his ex wife, and creates community with the new neighborhood around him, a world of people who also lost their homes.
