The Burning Plain

The past and the present have a curious way of affecting one another as several people separated by time and space are about to discover. Mariana, is a sixteen-year-old girl trying to put together the shattered lives of her parents in a Mexican border town; Sylvia (Charlize Theron), from Portland, Oregon, must undertake an emotional odyssey to burnish a sin from her past; Gina (Kim Basinger) and Nick, are a couple who must deal with an intense and clandestine affair; and Maria is the young girl who helps her parents find forgiveness and love. All five will discover that their actions may mean the difference between life and death, and impact on their own journeys to the path of redemption... and whether or not they will ever find it.
