See the films the platforms disagree about most →A fugitive woman, seeking refuge from gangsters, arrives in a small, isolated town in the Rocky Mountains. The impoverished community agrees to hide her in exchange for her labor. Initially grateful, she works hard to earn her keep, but the town's demands gradually become more exploitative and cruel, testing her grace and revealing the dark underbelly of human nature and the fragility of charity.
