Low Places

In the late 19th century, a pragmatic, fiercely independent rancher's daughter named Margo tries to protect her family's struggling ranch from her estranged father's debts and an encroaching railroad baron. She finds herself in conflict with her sister, who has a more conventional and perhaps naive view of their future. As Margo navigates treacherous legal battles and community pressures, she must make difficult choices that test her resilience and her relationships.
