“A tornado of human emotions.”

DramaWesternRomanceThriller

When Letty Mason relocates to West Texas, she finds herself unsettled by the ever-present wind and sand. Arriving at her new home at the ranch of her cousin, Beverly, she receives a surprisingly cold welcome from his wife, Cora. Soon tensions in the family and unwanted attention from a trio of suitors leave Letty increasingly disturbed.

VIBE

A stark, suffocating portrait of a woman overwhelmed by her environment and the suffocating expectations of a new life. The relentless wind mirrors her internal turmoil, creating an atmosphere of palpable dread and isolation.
