A beautiful mysterious woman comes into town, with a secret that threatens the status quo of a group of women who run the town Monday through Friday. Their men work at a dam a few hours away, and can only return on the weekends for rowdy fun and raucous love. Her beauty and demeanour make Chrysty the obvious scapegoat for several of the women's frustrations and loneliness. Several others see her as a beacon of hope in an otherwise downtrodden existence. The ensuing conflict sends their normally placid lives into a state of chaos. 'Nevada' is an insightful and witty exploration of the choices women must make in their lives as mothers, lovers, wives and as individuals.
