Based on the acclaimed novel, THE IRON ORCHARD is the story of Jim McNeely, a young man thrust into the vibrant and brutal West Texas oilfields in 1939. In a state gushing with oil and filled with ambition, the formidable path before him is riddled with obstacles – overbearing bosses who try to keep him down, powerful oilmen who are reluctant to invest in a fresh face, and women who see salvation in his charms.

When a spy meets his dream woman, he abandons his life to settle into a boring suburban life. When his friends enact a "spy intervention," the adventures of his old life not only help save his marriage, but also stop an evil plot threatening the world.
