Country Boys is the story of an up-and-coming singer named Richie Bashton, who's trying to make it big in the country scene. To do this, Richie's manager Bruce Wolnik signs him up to famous music company 'Rocky Mountain Records'. The one problem? Richie's gay, and wants to make music about his experience as a gay man living in the south, and generally provide allyship to the LGBT+ community overall. And the owner of Rocky Mountain Records, Pappy Stevenson, is only really interested in making shallow bro country, so now Richie has to find a way out of the contract Bruce signed him up for. What makes it worse is that his ex, who after some soul searching found out she's really a woman on the inside, is also signed to that record and while the breakup was mutual and amiable, there's still some awkwardness there. AND on top of that his adoptive daughter is dating Pappy's daughter.
