The story follows Ennis Del Mar and Jack Twist, two young ranch hands from Wyoming who meet in 1963 when they take a job herding sheep on Brokeback Mountain for the summer. Unexpectedly, they develop an intense romantic and sexual relationship during their time together on the mountain.

After the summer ends, they go their separate ways and get married to their respective girlfriends, Alma and Lureen. However, over the next two decades, Ennis and Jack continue reuniting for brief romantic trysts during annual camping trips in remote areas. Their relationship is marked by deep longing and love, but also fear, isolation, and the harsh realities of living in a society intolerant of homosexuality.
