Plot Synopsis

Ambitious entrepreneurs from across the United States to come down to West Texas and pitch their business ideas to self-made multimillionaires Rooster McConaughey (the older brother of Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey) and Butch Gilliam and their close friend and confidante Gil Prather. Rooster and Butch carved their fortunes from a harsh and unforgiving land. For the past several years, they've chosen to pass on that success by investing in promising entrepreneurs -- but only on their turf and their terms. Now, these entrepreneurs get a once-in-a-lifetime chance to secure funding...but what they don't know is that clever products and beautiful balance sheets only get them so far with these investors, because Rooster and Butch won't make a deal until they've peered into their hearts and souls, taking the true measure of their character and their companies.
