Plot

In Nevada, a mysterious woman named Chrysty appears, seemingly out of nowhere, wandering through the desert with no possessions and no fixed destination. She eventually makes her way to Silver City, a remote desert town in Nevada populated largely by women, as many of the men are away working.

At first, Chrysty is met with curiosity, hospitality, and suspicion in roughly equal measure. Some of the women in the town are quietly welcoming; others, especially one local woman named McGill, watch her with distrust. As Chrysty settles in—securing a job, finding a place to stay—the tension between her desire for anonymity and the town’s natural curiosity about her past begins to grow.

Gradually, parts of Chrysty’s earlier life start to come to light. Her arrival in Silver City acts as a catalyst: for Chrysty herself, for the relationships she builds (and trials she faces) in the town, and for the dynamics among the women who both resist and embrace her presence.

The film explores themes of identity, escape, reinvention, and the idea of “home” — what it means to belong, whether by choice or by circumstance.
