Rosemary Mendes, looking for a new life after her husband's death, believes she has found refuge in remote Trinity County, California. But a tale offered in passing by a young neighbor is enlarged by information from women she's working with at the local senior center: a young woman, another in-comer "kind of like you, Rosemary," has been shot dead in the forest, apparently by a careless deer-hunter, and no one knows who she really was. Rosemary, caught by a growing sense of identification with the woman, tries to learn more about her, and her efforts prove both successful and dangerous.

"Theater of the Absurd" takes on a whole new meaning when former high school teacher and literary scholar Grace Hollister is hired as a script doctor for a straight-to-cable film production of her own academic exploits. Although the film's budget seems boundless, almost no one in the cast or crew seems to have any experience making movies. It would almost be comical in a Woody Allen sort of way?until history repeats itself for real, and it's curtains for one of the cast.
