The doc is named after Hill Stable, which Shadow and Act describes as the historically Black and Latinx area's “last public horse stable." It follows three Black cowboys as they fight to protect its legacy and roster of rodeo-ready competitive cowboys after a 2012 fire pushed the city to evacuate the stable grounds.
