Summary
Three women, decades apart from each other, fight for love and agency in a rural Kansas community seemingly frozen in time:
1966: Sissily is driving cross-country with a much older man called Ezzy. On their way to California to begin a life together, he insists on stopping at his family ranch outside Liberty, Kansas, to visit his mother, Mrs. Svoboda. This family reunion is a painful reminder for Sissily of the rumors about the scandal that led to her running away from home, but while Mrs. Svoboda is a domineering figure, Sissily sees a woman who harbors secrets of her own.
1947: Nella begins an interracial relationship with a white man called Lucky. They can only meet in secret, or as Lucky is in a wheelchair sometimes Nella pretends to be his nurse. When three white men stumble upon 'Nurse Nella' one catastrophic afternoon, the violence of a racist society forces Nella to face the harsh reality of her love affair.
1933: Greta finds love with a woman from the neighboring farm during the height of the Dust Bowl. Surrounded by violence and starvation, their clandestine encounters are unsustainable, and yet the implications of their relationship will find a way to endure for generations.
