One summer night, the small mountain town of Bomer loses power—and never gets it back. With roads impassable and communication severed, the town begins to fracture. Some residents retreat to The Homestead, a living-history women’s retreat organized around shared labor and collective survival, while the mayor moves to consolidate authority from the town center, determined to restore order through hierarchy and control. What begins as uneasy cooperation hardens into rivalry as the community confronts forces beyond its understanding. Years later, one of the women who survived that first winter sets out to challenge the official account of those days—now preserved and enforced by The Daughters, the community’s leadership. But reclaiming the story means confronting the role she herself played in what followed.
