Jack's crop has just been wiped out by a hailstorm. But even as he struggles, he can't help but worry about Patty. His wife and the community have written her off as a bad seed, but having grown up with a schizophrenic mother and abusive stepfather, Patty is a survivor. Jack quietly takes it on himself to find her. His search eventually leads him to the underbelly of a drug-fueled world of prostitution and ruined youth.
