Based on Lily Koppel's book, this limited series tells the story of the women who were essential players behind big events in American history. As America's astronauts were launched on death-defying missions, the lives of their young wives were transformed from military spouses to American royalty. As their celebrity rose, and tragedy began to touch their lives, they rallied together.

Bud Davis, a Texas oil refinery worker, meets and falls in love with Sissy at Gilley's, a popular country-western nightclub in Houston. However, their relationship becomes endangered when a mechanical bull-riding ex-convict schemes to steal Sissy's heart.
