Wade Hampton, an aspiring sculptor (played by Drew Pillsbury), had been stuck in a factory job for 15 years. He decides to pursue his artistic dreams in Jerome, Arizona, where a community of artists awaits him, leaving his California life behind. Wade’s road trip takes a dark turn when he offers a ride to a hitchhiker named Jane (played by Wendie Malick) in the middle of the desert. Wade becomes entangled in a murder that could have serious consequences for his life.
In the movie, we only get to see one of Wade’s sculptures titled “Calamity Jane,” which he created while in prison.
