A single mother with two children returns to her hometown in Northern Minnesota and tries to get employed at the iron mines – the main source of employment in the area. The film is based on the first major successful sexual harassment case in the United States – Jenson vs. Eveleth Mines, where a woman who endured a range of abuse while working as a miner filed and won the landmark 1984 lawsuit.
