Theo Hart, escaping a difficult past, arrives in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, where she befriends several wild and wonderful women soaking in a hot springs tub. As dreamy days become a dulcet detour, otherworldly events unfurl, making Theo wonder … What was it they all saw that night on the mesa? Does her heart belong to Winny? Is she being followed?
Tinged with mystery and music, humor and perhaps an alien or two, Dance with the Desert is a quirky story of friendship and an examination of truth, reality and the consequences we must navigate to become who we are meant to be.
