Heidi (Lucy Fry) is a diner waitress who makes a living serving up stewed coffee to truckers who eye her as if she’s an item on the menu. Jane (Eiza González) works in a casino but dreams of stardom as a rodeo queen. The friendship between the two is both safety net and escape from a hardscrabble daily slog in the unforgiving New Mexico desert country. Then Jane disappears and Heidi, initially the more lost and directionless of the two, is forced to confront the dangerous secrets of the desert in order to find out the truth. This striking drama vividly captures the sense of uncertainty of transient lives, but loses power in a final act which gets somewhat mired in hallucinatory dream logic.
