The newly widowed women find their faith is tested when they must go to work in the mines to keep a roof over their heads.

Yellowjackets
Yellowjackets follows a girls' high school soccer team.

At the same time, it follows the lives they've attempted to piece back together nearly twenty-five years later, proving that the past is never really past and what began out in the wilderness is far from over.
