Description
In the heart of the Dust Bowl, a Nebraskan town's fate becomes irrevocably intertwined after a devastating storm. At its center is a "Prairie Witch," whose body acts as a vault for the town's most guarded memories and secrets. As a Polish wheat farmer grapples with a blessing turned curse, his orphan niece, a gifted basketball player and witch's apprentice, flees her grief. Their lives, along with those of a sentient scarecrow and a New Deal photographer with a time-traveling camera, converge in a gripping epic that unearths buried truths and confronts the harsh realities of survival.
