Three strong-willed women strive to forge their own paths amidst the wide-open plains of the American Northwest: a lawyer forced to subdue a troubled client; a wife and mother whose plans to construct her dream home reveal fissures in her marriage; and a lonely ranch hand who forms an ambiguous bond with a young law student.

Reichardt adapted three Maile Meloy stories but stripped exposition until only emotional residue remained — the lawyer segment's hostage negotiation deliberately fizzles without catharsis.
