Lena Olson only wanted something more out of life than to be a farmer's wife toiling away on a tiny scrap of land. When that opportunity finally comes, her dream quickly turns into a nightmare she can't wake up from.
When Lena and her husband Frank find a man bleeding to death outside their ranch, they are surprised to see he is carrying a bag stuffed with money. The dying man is a bank robber on the run. Lena wants to keep the money to improve her lot in life, but she's not the only one after it. The gang of bank robbers are eager to win their loot back, and they won't leave until it is back in their hands.
Lena goes on the run to escape the gang, but they are hot on her tail at every turn.
Can Lena ever escape her pursuers and find the freedom she so badly craves?
