Plot summary

Maben, a single mother with no money, is on the road in Mississippi with her young daughter, Analee. Short of cash, she takes a motel room at a truck stop and considers soliciting truckers, then loses her nerve. A sheriff's deputy spots her, assumes she is a sex worker and drives her to an isolated spot, where he assaults her. She grabs his pistol, shoots him and flees with the gun and the spent cartridges. Russell Gaines leaves prison after seven years for a drunk-driving crash that killed Jason. Jason's brothers Larry and Walt beat him as he steps off the bus and warn that his debt is not settled. At his father Mitchell's farm he meets Consuela, Mitchell's partner. Russell takes the keys to a house Mitchell owns in town, unwilling to draw the brothers to the farm.
