For Rita (Carrie Coon), a workaday life as an assistant bank manager, wife, and mother of two approaching empty-nest status has just collided with the re-emergence of a very painful chapter of her family history. She finds various ways, all frustratingly temporary, to cope with her anxieties. That is, until a mysterious new client, Ricki (Lily James), walks into Rita’s bank.

In addition to making a large deposit, Ricki tenders a more interesting offer. To join a group of women that night in a sunset ritual and perhaps find the gateway to newfound purpose. Much to her family’s dismay, Rita immerses herself into an organization with many skeletons in its proverbial closet and eventually leaves to help Ricki establish a rural all-woman commune.
