Hurtling past the downtrodden communities of Depression-era America, painter Val Welch travels westward to the rural town of Dawes, Wyoming. Through a stroke of luck, he's landed an assignment to create a mural representing the region. A wealthy art lover named John Long and his wife Eve have agreed to host Val at their sprawling ranch. Rumours and intrigue surround the couple: Eve left behind an itinerant life riding the rails and singing in a western swing band, Long holds shady political aspirations, but was once a WWI sniper - and his right hand man is a mysterious elder cowboy, a vestige of the violent Old West. Val quickly finds himself entranced by their lives. One day, Eve flees home with a valuable painting in tow, and Long recruits Val to hit the road with a mission of tracking her down. Journeying from ramshackle Hoovervilles to San Francisco, Val's search for Eve narrows, and he soon turns up secrets that could change all their lives forever.
