Nevada movie storyline. A woman fleeing the man in her life discovers a city of women in this revisionist western. Chrysty (Amy Brenneman) is passing through the Nevada desert when she happens upon the small town of Silver, currently populated entirely by women and children, while the men in the community are gone — working on a dam building project.
When Chrysty discovers June (Bridgette Wilson) alone and in labor, she helps her as she gives birth; Chrysty opts to stay around, and she takes a job delivering milk. Silver is ruled by McGill (Kirstie Alley), the village’s self-appointed sheriff who doesn’t trust Chrysty; McGill discovers that Chrysty is actually an Idaho housewife running away from her husband, West (Angus MacFadyen).
However, June’s husband Rip (James Wilder), back in town after the birth of a child that may not be his and troubled by his wife’s chronic infidelity, has fallen in love with Chrysty, and when West arrives to Silver to retrieve his spouse, Rip opts to fight for her hand. Nevada also features Saffron Burrows as June’s sister-in-law, and Dee Wallace Stone and Kathy Najimy as a rough-and-tumble lesbian couple.
