A young woman, lured to North Dakota for a truck-driving job in the oil industry, shares her agonizing existence in an isolated boomtown.

Facing a zero-tolerance immigration system and the relentless threat of deportation, an undocumented immigrant in Minnesota reflects upon faith, recovery, redemption, and the likelihood of being separated from his family.

An intimate snapshot of the people involved in North Dakota's historic Bakken oil boom, telling a story of rural industrialization and distress that exposes the intricacies of a conflict between the interests of big businesses and the communities and activists that call for the protection of the environmental health of the region.

After a solar flare powers down her remote community, Alma discovers her husband Terry comatose. Suspecting he is having an out-of-body affair with an ex-lover, Alma attempts to bring him back to reality with help from Terry's estranged, drug-addled son and the leader of a new-age religion that specializes in astral travel.
