Oxbow
In 2001, a massive snowstorm results in a chance encounter between two childhood friends who haven’t spoken in years. Shawnee Hughes and Ginny Lee grew up together in the Oxbow Willows trailer park. Broke, but never broken, they dreamt of a future where they could leave the boredom, dust, and desperation of Oxbow, Iowa, behind them. Shawn aspired to win her way out with a scholarship, while Ginny planned to bide her time, using her razor-sharp memory to lull her devout family into believing that she was as dedicated as they were. Nothing goes as planned, but this is the story of how everything falls into place.
