14A: Lone Women

It’s 1915 and Adelaide Henry is forced to flee California, making her way to the harsh land of Montana as a homesteader. She has the hopes of proving herself as a “lone woman,” taking advantage of the free land being offered to those who can tame it. However, she isn’t alone. She carries a steamer trunk along with her, always locked, because when it opens, the people around Adelaide start to disappear.
